Explanation:

Positive H.pylori. The urea breath test is a non-invasive way of diagnosing h.pylori. H.pylori is associated with type B gastritis. Type A gastritis is autoimmune gastritis which is associated with pernicious anemia due to antibodies to parietal cells. A gastrin level greater than 1000 and ulcers in the 3rd and 4th portions of the duodenum are findings seen in the rare disorder, Zollinger-Ellison syndrome due to tumor (gastrinoma) secreting gastrin.
