title: [Exocrine pancreas involvement in chronic enteropathies in infants and children].
abstract: On a number of 135 cases of chronic enteropathies in patients aged 6 months--15 years, the trypsin, amilasis and lipasis levels in duodenal aspirate were investigated. In a high number, the decrease of pancreatic enzymes activity was noted and the majority of cases were accompanied by a marked dystrophy (grades II or III). Thus, it was not possible to indicate whether the low levels were primary or secondary determined.
