Morphopathologic changes of enteropathies in 161 children's intestinal endobiopsies.
The authors examined microscopically 161 jejunal biopsies of which 142 presented a pathologic mucosa. The two sexes were equally represented and the prevalent age was between 1 and 2 years. Nearly one third of the cases were acute enteritides and the remaining ones--granulative and atrophic enteritides; none of them was hypertrophic. The causes of these enteropathies are various.
