FEATURES OF CLINICAL MANIFESTATIONS AND COMORBID PATHOLOGY IN DISEASES OF THE GASTROINTESTINAL TRACT IN CHILDREN

Abstract

The objective of the study is to research clinical manifestations and structure of concomitant diseases among children with gastroduodenal tract diseases. During researching 110 case histories of children with chronic gastroduodenitis and peptic ulcer disease (PUD) hospitalized in the II pediatric department of Kursk Incidence of PUD and chronic gastroduodenitis is higher in age 12-18 years old. Gender differences were identified: among children less than 11 years incidence is higher among girls, but over 11 years old - among boys. Speaking about comorbid diseases, reactive pancreatitis is the most common and mostly co-occurs with chronic gastriduodenitis. The most common manifestation of dyspepsia is nausea identified in more than half of the children. Children with ulcer are more prone to vomiting, heartburn and belching. Patients observed for chronic gastroduodenitis mostly had pain in the umbilical region and the right hypochondrium, constipation.
