چکیده
A 7 year old girl referred for investigation of hypogammaglobulinaemia had hypoalbuminaemia and severe necrotising oesophagitis on oesophagogastroduodenoscopy. Nissen fundoplication resolved all clinical and laboratory abnormalities, but she remains under surveillance because ofhistological findings ofBarrett's oesophagus. Erosive reflux oesophagitis can present with minimal localising symptoms, and hypogammaglobulinaemia and hypoalbuniinaemia, presumably from protein loss. (Arch Dis Child 1995; 72: 245-246)

Reflux oesophagitis and oesophageal transit: evidence
Patients with reflux oesophagitis have a diminished capacity for distal oesophageal clearance. This is considered to be secondary to acid reflux damage to the oesophageal wall. We have postulated that the observed oesophageal dysmotility is a primary phenomenon. Using 24 hour oesophageal pH monitoring and the solid bolus oesophageal egg transit test, we evaluated the oesophageal transit of55 pa...

متن کامل24 hour ambulatory oesophageal pH monitoring in uncomplicated Barrett's oesophagus.
The aim of this study was to compare acid reflux in 16 patients with uncomplicated Barrett's oesophagus with 37 patients with reflux oesophagitis and 10 control subjects of comparable age. All patients had 24 hour ambulatory pH monitoring within one week of endoscopy. The controls differed significantly from the other groups in all indices of reflux but there was no difference between the Barre...
متن کاملHelicobacter pylori infection prevents erosive reflux oesophagitis by decreasing gastric acid secretion.
BACKGROUND Helicobacter pylori infection is less prevalent and atrophic gastritis is less extensive in patients with reflux oesophagitis than those without it, but few studies have examined this relationship directly. AIMS We investigated the relationship between H pylori infection, acid secretion, and reflux oesophagitis in Japanese subjects. SUBJECTS A total of 105 patients with erosive r...

BACKGROUND The relationship between Helicobacter pylori and reflux oesophagitis remains controversial. AIMS To evaluate the relationship between H pylori and reflux oesophagitis in a large number of Japanese subjects. SUBJECTS A total of 5732 consecutive Japanese subjects during a health screening were enrolled. METHODS Gastrointestinal endoscopy was performed on all subjects. We simultan...
