To date, no cases of vonoprazan-associated gastric mucosal redness have been reported, and its endoscopic and pathological features remain largely unclear. We report four cases of vonoprazan-associated gastric mucosal redness. In all cases, esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) demonstrated linear or spotty redness that newly appeared in the greater curvature of the middle gastric body after the initiation of vonoprazan, which disappeared after its discontinuation. A tissue biopsy taken from the gastric mucosa with redness revealed inflammatory cell infiltration, parietal cell protrusions (PCPs), and oxyntic gland dilatation. To our knowledge, this is the first report describing the endoscopic and pathological features of vonoprazan-associated gastric mucosal redness.

Certain populations with high incidences of Helicobacter pylori infection, such as those in East Asian countries, have high incidences of gastric cancer, while other highly infected populations, such as those in Africa and South Asia, do not. The various rates of gastric cancer associated with different geographic areas can be explained, at least in part, by the differences in the genotypes of H. pylori cagA and vacA. Populations expressing a high incidence of gastric cancer are mostly identical with regions where East Asian type CagA is predominant. In contrast, incidence of gastric cancer is low in Africa, South Asia, and Europe, where strains typically possess Western type CagA. Within East Asia, strains from northern parts, where the incidence of gastric cancer is high, predominantly possess the vacA m1 genotype, whereas the m2 genotype is predominant in southern parts where the gastric cancer incidence is low.
