title: Relationship between mast cells/parietal cells and maximal/basal acid output ratio in chronic gastritis.
abstract: Mast and parietal cells were concomitantly demonstrated in biopsies from corpus mucosa of patients with various forms of chronic gastritis. The ratio of mast/parietal cells and the ratio of maximal and basal acid output were negatively correlated.
