Abstract
Acute phlegmonous gastritis is an extremely rare and frequently fatal condition characterized by suppurative bacterial infection of the gastric wall. Since Cruveilhier first described the condition in 1862, the proportion of affected patients who survive remains no higher than 58%, despite important advances in diagnostic techniques and the availability of more potent broad-spectrum antibiotics. In this manuscript, we present a unique case of acute phlegmonous gastritis encountered during steroid treatment for Crohn’s disease. We think that diagnosis at a very early stage and rapid treatment with a combination of broad-spectrum antibiotics, and sometimes early surgical removal of the infected tissues, may prove to be a life-saving strategy when treating such patients, as it was in the case discussed here

Abstract
Akut flegmanöz gastrit, m ide duvarının süpüratif bakteriyel infeksiyonu ile karakterize, son derece nadir görülen ve sıklıkla ölüme neden olan klinik bir durumdur. Cruveilhier tarafından ilk kez tanımlandığı 1862 yılından bu yana, teşhis yöntemlerindeki önemli gelişmelerin olması ve elimizde çok daha etkin geniş spektrumlu antibiyotiklerin olmasına olmasına rağmen, hayatta kalabilen hasta oranı halen %58’i geçmemektedir. Bu yazıda, Crohn hastalığı nedeniyle steroid tedavisi almakta olan bir hastada gelişen akut flegmanöz gastrit vakası sunmaktayız. Sunduğumuz bu vakada olduğu gibi, bu tür bir hastayı tedavi ederken çok erken dönemde doğru tanıyı koyarak hızlı bir şeklide geniş spektrumlu bir antibiyotik kombinasyonunun başlanılmasının ve gereğinde erken dönemde enfekte dokuların cerrahi olarak uzaklaştırılmasının hasta açısından hayat kurtarıcı olabileceğini düşünmekteyiz
