Urgent fibre-optic panendoscopy was performed in 400 patients within 24 hours of their admission to hospital for upper gastro-intestinal haemorrhage. The cause of bleeding was established by endoscopy in 87%. No cause was found in 10% and endoscopy failed in 3%. Twenty-five per cent of the patients had an additional lesion which was not the cause of bleeding. Complications owing to endoscopy occurred in 2% of the patients. Only 27% of the patients still had blood present in the stomach at the time of endoscopy. Chronic gastric ulcer was causative in 22%, and duodenal ulcer in 20% of the patients. Haemorrhagic gastritis accounted for 13%, Mallory-Weiss tear for 8%, acute ulceration for 5% and varices for 4% of the patients. Only 60% of the patients with dyspepsia were bleeding from peptic ulcers and only 64% of the patients bleeding from ulcers had a history of dyspepsia. Follow-up studies revealed that endoscopy, in experienced hands, is an accurate investigation which allows for an improved approach to management, and which probably also reduces the mortality rate.

We studied 33 patients with non ulcer dyspepsia and endoscopic gastritis. 21 were female (63.4%) and 12 male (36.4%). Helicobacter pylori (HP) was investigated by gastric mucosal biopsy. Urease test, Gram, culture, and histology were performed in all and two or more of these test hat to be positive to consider HP infection. 16/33 resulted HP positive (48.8%). Erosive gastritis was most commonly associated with H.P. infection (62.5%). This was statistically significant. In all the cases HP positive chronic gastritis was present. 15/16 were active chronic gastritis. Our results suggest that erosive gastritis is most frequently associated with HP infection and non ulcer dyspepsia.
