HYPOACID STATE OF THE GASTRIC JUICE IN CHILDREN AS AN ESSENTIAL RISK FACTOR OF ECHINOCOCCOSIS INFECTION

Аннотация

The study presents the acidity of gastric juice in 389 children with echinococcosis, as well as in 133 members of their families from 42 households. All children with echinococcosis were operated on in the 2nd clinic of Samarkand State Medical Institute. The nature of the acid-forming function of the stomach in the general population of children was studied on the basis of a survey of 60 healthy children. Studies of the acid-forming function of the stomach showed that echinococcosis in 81.7% of children is associated with a hypoacid state of gastric juice.
