Three cases of hypogammaglobulinemia are described. In all cases the first symptoms of disease manifesting as pneumonia were preceded by diarrhea. In gastric biopsy there was atrophic gastritis with lack of plasmocytes. All patients demonstrated gastric achylia and symptoms of malabsorption syndrome. The causes of gastrointestinal changes, most probably infections, with simultaneous defective mucosal barrier are discussed.

In a material of 14 cases of funicular myelosis the authors demonstrated frequent presence of peripheral signs, psychic changes and rare occurrence of such infrequent syndromes as transverse myelitis, cerebellar syndrome, optic nerve atrophy. Diagnostic difficulties are discussed in cases of pernicious anaemia without blood changes, without gastric achylia, or in patients with vitamin B12 deficiency, malabsorption syndromes and other more infrequent pathological conditions. The importance of such investigations as Schilling's test in atypical cases and the necessity of regular, long-term substitutive treatment with B12 are stressed.

The study was aimed at determining relationship between thyroid function and the type and degree of malabsorption. Serum triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4) levels were determined in children with celiac disease and the secondary malabsorption. Hundred fifty five children aged between 6 months and 7 years were followed up 3 years. Coeliac disease was diagnosed with classic Interlaken criteria. All children were divided into three groups: group I--57 children aged between 6 months and 3 years with suspected celiac disease; group II--55 children aged between 2.5 and 6 years after gluten-free diet therapy; group III--52 children aged between 3 and 7 years after gluten provocation test. Serum T3 and T4 levels for each group were compared with those in children with normal gut mucous membrane. Blood serum T3 and T4 were assayed with OPIDI kit (manufactured in Swierk). Serum T4 levels were significantly lower in children with mucous membrane atrophy in comparison with dystrophic children and normal gut mucous membrane. Both serum T3 and T4 were significantly lowered in the youngest children upto 12 months of life with mucous membranes atrophy. Serum T3 and T4 concentrations were below the normal values in 4 youngest children. Blood serum T3 and T4 levels did not depend on the morphology of the intestinal villi in children treated with gluten-free diet (some children did not observe the diet and had atrophic lesions to the mucous membrane of the small intestine). Blood serum T3 level was relatively increased in children of group II with mucous membrane regeneration; in comparison with the value determined in the period of active disease.

The results of bioptic mucosal specimens examination are discussed. Samples of the small intestine were collected from 211 children with malabsorption syndrome of various etiology such as cow milk protein intolerance, gluten intolerance, spontaneous diarrhoea and other. The results obtained with microscopic examination scored with Shmerling scale were compared with those of light microscopic examination of histological preparations. The difficulties connected with proper sampling and handling of the bioptic specimen are discussed. Technical errors very often are the cause of the diagnostic failure.

A case of a 18-year female patient is presented. The patient suffered from certain symptoms of malabsorption syndrome. She was also retarded sexually. Celiac disease was diagnosed according to ESPGAN criteria. Gluten -free diet produced body weight increase, pain relief, improved well-being and normal menstruation.

Pneumatosis cystoides intestinalis is an uncommon condition in which submucosal or subserosal gas cysts are found in the wall of the small or large bowel. Many different causes of pneumatosis cystoides intestinalis have been proposed, including mechanical and bacterial causes. Approximately 85% of cases are thought to be secondary to coexisting disorders of the gastrointestinal tract or the respiratory system. Since 1986 we have observed 4 cases of pneumatosis cystoides intestinalis. A review of the literature is presented with emphasis on the etiology, diagnosis, differential diagnosis, and therapy of pneumatosis cystoides intestinalis. Symptoms of pneumatosis cystoides intestinalis include diarrhea, constipation, rectal bleeding, passage of mucus per rectum, vague abdominal discomfort, abdominal pain, urgency, malabsorption, weight loss, and excessive flatus. Depending on the location of the gas filled cysts the range of symptoms in each patient may vary enormously.

A 45-year-old woman with T-cell lymphoma is reported. Enlargement of the peripheral lymph nodes was not observed. Splenectomy was performed for hypersplenism and during the operation the mesenteric and retroperitoneal lymph nodes were found to be greatly enlarged. Three years after the diagnosis of lymphoma malabsorption syndrome developed. After 5 years sudden clinical deterioration appeared, with loss of reaction to effective treatment given as yet. Conversion of the predominating lymphocyte subpopulation from T to B cells was observed owing to repeatedly done monitoring of peripheral blood lymphocytes. The pattern of the newly developed lymphoma was that of a highly malignant B-cell proliferation. The possible mechanisms of the conversion discussed by the authors include: simultaneous proliferation of B and T populations of lymphocytes, B-cell lymphoma induction by chemotherapy, and infection by Epstein-Barr virus.

Effect of Ibuprofen on food requirements and body weight was studied in experimental animals. A considerable fall of rat body weight was observed, proportional to the administered dose and duration of treatment. Ibuprofen had no influence no food requirement. It was also demonstrated that Ibuprofen caused disturbances in intestinal motor function which might lead to the development of malabsorption syndrome.

We present 66 year old man with symptoms of malabsorption syndrome. The correct diagnosis of Whipple's disease was made difficult by the radiological picture of the jejunum tumor with subocclusion. It was the cause of the diagnosis of carcinoid tumor of the small intestine: the laparotomy was performed. The histological picture was typical for Whipple's disease. The skin changes seen in our patient were similar like in carcinoid syndrome, pellagra and Whipple's disease.

The study encompassed 100 children who recovered from secondary malabsorption syndrome. The following were evaluated: physical development (body weight, height, skin-fold thickness on the arm, shoulder-blade and abdomen) and IQ in the Wechsler scale. Children who had suffered from secondary malabsorption syndrome in infancy showed lower parameters of physical development compared with healthy children. These differences pertained mainly to body weight and height and to the intelligence quotient.
