title: [Chronic diarrhea with hypergastrinemia and achlorhydria without gastritis in a 5-year-old child].
abstract: We report a case of chronic diarrhea due to hypergastrinemia with achlorhydria but without gastritis in a five-year-old boy. Symptoms responded promptly to oral administration of hydrochloric acid and resolved completely after one year of treatment. The pathophysiologic situation in this patient closely resembled that normally seen in neonates, suggesting prolonged but nevertheless transient immaturity of gastric secretions.
