Diseases of the gastrointestinal tract (gastroenterology)

Acute esophagitis

Acute esophagitis is divided into inflammation of infectious and inflammatory traumatic nature, the first - to nonspecific and specific, the second - to chemical burns and traumatic injuries (perforations, ruptures, gunshot wounds).

Diphtheria esophagitis

Esophageal infection by diphtheria infection refers to rare diseases. It can occur in severe diphtheria of the pharynx with spread to the hypopharyngs and esophagus.

Herpetic esophagitis

Lesions of the esophagus by viruses of herpes simplex or herpes zoster occur infrequently and usually occur with simultaneous lesions of various parts of the skin and mucous membranes.

Chronic nonspecific esophagitis

Chronic esophagitis, as a rule, develops from acute esophagitis and practically on the basis of the same etiological factors. They can be characterized by the formation of non-healing ulcers. The emergence of a long-term inflammatory process with its cicatricial stenosis, tumors. Chronic esophagitis can be both nonspecific and specific (tuberculosis, syphilis, actinomycosis).

Esophageal tuberculosis

Tuberculosis of the esophagus is extremely rare, because the rapid passage of infected sputum does not promote fixation of the pathogen in the mucosa, in addition, the mucosa of the esophagus is poor in lymphatic vessels, which also does not contribute to infection of the latter.

Syphilis of the esophagus

Syphilis of the esophagus - the disease is not so frequent, occurs in all stages of this venereal disease, but is most often manifested in the Tertiary period.

Foreign bodies of the esophagus

The ingestion of foreign bodies poses a great danger, especially in early childhood, in connection with the threat of development of severe, life-threatening complications and the difficulty in removing these foreign bodies.

Trichostrongyloidosis: causes, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment

Trichostrongyloidosis is zoonosis-geogelmintosis. Man is an optional host. Adult helminths are localized in the small intestine of a person.

Hepatitis G

Viral hepatitis G is a viral infection with a parenteral mechanism of transmission, taking place in an asymptomatic form.

Pancreatic head cancer

Periampular cancer - the cancer of the pancreatic head region develops frequently. It can come from the very head of the gland (more often from the epithelium of the ducts than from the cells of the acini), from the epithelium of the distal sections of the common bile duct, from the phater ampoule and the fater nipple, and less often from the mucous membrane of the duodenum.
