RESUMO
AIM: The study of a complex of anamnestic, clinicoendoscopic and functional-morphological characteristics in type I and II (according to Johnson) gastric ulcer. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Esophagogastroduodenoscopy, gastric secretion tests, determination of blood group and Rh factor were performed in 91 patients (52 patients with ulcer type I and 39 with ulcer type II). RESULTS: Ulcers type I have arisen in the presence of long-term chronic gastritis. They were associated with marked changes in the mucosa of gastric body, its atrophy and intestinal metaplasia, persistent recurrences in the same gastric zone. Ulcers type II are characterized by hereditary loading, 0(I) blood group, combination with gastroduodenal erosions, season occurrence, trend to migration and recurrence in different gastric or duodenal zones, HCl hypersecretion, high occurrence of Helicobacter pylori infection. CONCLUSION: It is thought valid to include types of gastric ulcer in current classification of ulcer.
