Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Fifty patients who presented with symptoms suggestive of disease related to peptic acidity having endoscopic evidence of duodenitis were analysed. Endoscopic duodenal biopsy was done in all these patients. Histologically duodenitis was labelled if there was infiltration of epithelial layer. Male to female ratio was found to be 3:2. Duration of symptoms in the patients ranged from less than one month to more than 5 years. Possible aetiological factors like drugs, alcohol and smoking were established in 26 patients (52%), drugs being the commonest (26%). Stool examination showed cyst or ova of parasites in 8 patients (16%). Endoscopically multiple hyperaemic patches were seen in 15 (30%), erosions in 19 (38%), coarse mucosal folds in 5 (10%), nodules in 2 (4%) and multiple lesions in 9 (18%) patients. Histological and endoscopical correlationship was established in 40 (80%) cases.
