Doxycycline induced gastritis and oesophageal ulcer

DOXYCYCLINE-INDUCED ESOPHAGEAL ULCER

During a period of 4 years (1983-1986), we have seen 18 patients with esophageal ulcer following the intake of doxycycline capsules at the University Hospitals of Shiraz Medical School. During the same period only one other patient with a drug-induced esophageal ulcer was seen and this was found to be due to a mefenemic acid capsule. Diagnosis was made by esophagoscopy and after two weeks,...

The gastritis associated with chronic gastric ulcer has been studied by means of biopsy specimens taken under vision through a fibreoptic gastroscope from four standard sites in the stomach. Observations have been made in patients with untreated gastric ulcer and also in patients after medical or surgical treatment of the ulcer. The gastritis is usually widespread in chronic peptic ulcer of the...

Chronic gastritis and gastric ulcer.

Gastric ulcer and regurgitation gastritis.

Experimental and clinical data have incriminated excess gastric acid secretion as an important factor in the development of duodenal ulcer. On the other hand, gastric ulcer is characteristically associated with normal to low levels of acid secretion, and mucosal resistance factors have been invoked to explain the pathogenesis. The purpose of this report is to summarize the evidence favouring th...
