title: [Morphological and functional condition of the stomach in multiple sclerosis patients treated with prednisone].
abstract: In 30 patients with multiple sclerosis treated with prednisone the morphological status of the gastric mucosa was assessed endoscopically and microscopically, and the secretory function of the stomach was studied determining hydrophloric acid, sialic acid and total glycoproteins in gastric juice before and after 6 weeks of prednisone treatment. After the treatment in 9 cases the symptoms and signs of gastritis were exacerbated, in 7 cases they were alleviated, and in gastric juice secretion of sialic acid was reduced in most cases.
