[Reflux esophagitis (clinical and endoscopic studies)].
The results from the esophagoscopies of patients with esophagitis are reported. The diagnosis esophagitis was made in 238 patients (17.5%) out of the 1389 esophagoscopies performed. Esophagitis incidence is presented according to age groups. With the involvement of the distal third of esophagus proved to be 189 patients (71.0%). The incidence of reflux-esophagitis was studied in some diseases of stomach and duodenum. Reflux-esophagitis is more frequently found in patients with resected stomach, duodenal and gastric ulcers, than in patients with atrophic and superficial gastritis. The clinical symptoms, the characteristic endoscopic and histologic changes in esophageal mucosa were studied in a group of 56 patients with reflux-esophagitis. Esophagoscopy with intentional biopsy is the most valuable method for the diagnosis, precision of the stage and dynamics of reflux-esophagitis.
