what's the difference between acute gastritis and acute gastroenteritis?
hmm so does it mean gastritis refers to the inflammation of only the linings of the stomach, whereas AGE refers to the inflammation of the intestines and/or stomach?
I have to make a pathophysiology of gastritis and i already have the pathophysiology for AGE so I'm thinking if I could use it instead of making another one?

Acute gastritis is the irritation and inflammation of the stomach's mucous lining.Gastritis may be caused by a chemical, thermal, or bacterial insult. For example, drugs such as alcohol, aspirin, and chemotherapeutic agents may cause an attack of gastritis. Likewise, hot, spicy, rough, or contaminated foods may bring about an attack. Management involves symptomatic treatment measures after removal of the causative agent.
Gastroenteritis, or inflammation of the stomach and intestines, is generally caused by bacteria and viruses. Other causes include parasites, food allergens, drug reactions to antibiotics, and ingestion of toxic plants. Treatment is the same as for gastritis, with the addition of anti-microbial drugs for severe cases.
