@donavan Any of the following may be associated with peptic ulcer disease:
Hepatic cirrhosis
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
Allergic gastritis and eosinophilic gastritis
Cytomegalovirus infection
Graft versus host disease
Uremic gastropathy
Henoch-Schönlein gastritis
Corrosive gastropathy
Celiac disease
Bile gastropathy
Autoimmune disease
Crohn disease
Other granulomatous gastritides (eg, sarcoidosis, histiocytosis X, tuberculosis)
Phlegmonous gastritis and emphysematous gastritis
Other infections, including Epstein-Barr virus, HIV, Helicobacter heilmannii, herpes simplex, influenza, syphilis, Candida albicans, histoplasmosis, mucormycosis, and anisakiasis
Chemotherapeutic agents, such as 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), methotrexate (MTX), and cyclophosphamide
Local radiation resulting in mucosal damage, which may lead to the development of duodenal ulcers
Use of crack cocaine, which causes localized vasoconstriction, resulting in reduced blood flow and possibly leading to mucosal damage
