[The course of peptic ulcer in relation to patients' constitution].
Sixty one patients with peptic ulcer (PU) were examined to assess the specific features of its condition in relation to their affiliation to the type of morphological constitution (diathesis). Patients with PU were found to have most commonly dyscrasic diathesis. With predominant dyscrasic diathesis, there were more frequently complications of PU (rough scarring deformations of the gastric or duodenal walls, ulcer bleeding, perforation without clear association with the advance of PU, patient compliance, and the adequacy of antiulcerous therapy. Arthritic diathesis was next to dyscrasic one in its prevalence. Other diatheses (tuberculinic, psoriatic) were encountered much less frequently. Analysis of the diatheses manifested in a patient allows one to predict the course of PU, which is determined not only by the activity and duration of conventional antiulcerous treatment, as evidenced by these studies.
