Diagnostic value of some subjective and objective symptoms of gastric ulcer.
Some subjective and objective symptoms, that are believed to be specific of peptic ulcer, were analyzed in 425 patients with endoscopically confirmed gastric ulcer. It was noted that the pain syndrome may have variants while pain after meals remains a typical sign of gastric ulcer. But asthenic habitus, tendency to sinus bradycardia and arterial hypotension, the absence of a coated tongue, and the tendency to erythrocytosis and decelerated ESR were not typical for the observed patients. The results suggest that some traditional concepts of typical clinical picture of peptic ulcer should be revised.
