A member asked:
Do people ever get a stomach infection?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes.: The stomach can be infected by a number of different micro-organsims including some bacteria and some viruses. Certain fungi can also infect the stomach but are uncommon unless the patient has a compromised immune system. Infections of the stomach can cause 'gastritis' / inflammation of the stomach. One relatively common stomach bacterial infeciton is helicobacter pylori.
