Mucosal patterns change after Helicobacter pylori eradication: Evaluation using blue laser imaging in patients with atrophic gastritis

Figure 3 Mottled pattern. Representative images of the mottled pattern observed using blue laser imaging-bright mode in the gastric antrum of 6 patients. The whitish-colored mottled areas varied from small to large. Only panel A shows the pattern of a patient infected with Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori). A: 67-year-old male, H. pylori-positive, before eradication; B: 74-year-old male, H. pylori-negative, no eradication; C: 73-year-old female, H. pylori-negative, 2 years, 11 mo after eradication; D: 87-year-old male, H. pylori-negative, no eradication; E: 83-year-old male, H. pylori-negative, 5 years, 2 mo after eradication; F: 60-year-old female, H. pylori-negative, 2 years, 2 mo after eradication.
