title: [Anatomo-clinical study of chronic gastritis in Mali].
abstract: The aim of our study was to evaluate the frequency of chronic gastritis and its anatomoclinical aspects in Mali. Within thirteen months of prospective study, we have recorded seventy four chronic gastritis histologically confirmed which represented 3.28% of the total oesogastroduodenal pathologies registered during the same period (2256 cases). Chronic gastritis has been most observed between 31 to 40 years (24.3%) and women were affected (sex ratio = 0.6). Households and civil servants were predominant. The precocious burning epigastralgy just after the meal was the main motive of the examination and chronic gastritis has been a fortuitous discovery. The basic alimentation included smoked or dried fish, peanuts, "tô" and salt. The most frequent endoscopic aspect was the congestive one. The duodenogastric reflux was not negligible. The diffuse form and antral localisation were more frequent. Five displasiae and four intestinal metaplasiae have been found.
