A 40-year-old male was seen for evaluation of minor gastrointestinal bleeding. The patient had received an H2blocker as an outpatient for suspicion of duodenal ulcer disease. At endoscopy no lesion was seen and H2blockers were discontinued. The patient developed acute abdomen and at surgery a perforated Meckel's diverticulum was found.

Meckel’s diverticulum is the most common congenital anomaly of the gastrointestinal system. It results from the incomplete closure of the omphalomesenteric canal in intrauterine life. It is mostly diagnosed in childhood with intestinal obstruction and bleeding. It is uncommon and often clinically silent in adults. Also, it is difficult to diagnose the patients with symptomatic Meckel’s diverticulum. We report a 28-year-old male who presented with life-threatening recurrent lower gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding and was operated with the diagnosis of Meckel’s diverticulum with duodenal ulcer.

Doctors Rosenlund and Koop comment as follows: We are sorry Drs. Prouty and Oakley missed the objective of our article, which was merely to share the experience of a pediatric hospital regarding the incidence of duodenal ulcer disease. We did this because of the many conflicting reports, not to initiate further conflict. If our study presents a "distorted picture" regarding the incidence of ulcer disease in children, perhaps this is because of our strict criteria for the diagnosis (see article).

Aim. To comprehensively study the course of gastric ulcer disease (GUD) and duodenal ulcer disease (DUD) concurrent with chronic duodenal insufficiency (CDI). Materials and methods. Ulcer disease (UD) was verified on the basis of the results of clinical and fibrogastroduodenoscopic examinations. The data of contrast duodenography and cavitary manometry were used to identify CDI. Gastroduodenal motor activity was investigated using the peripheral electrogastrograph EGG-4M. The results of pH measurements were employed to assess the state of gastric acid secretion and duodenal pH values. Results. A comprehensive examination was made in 106 patients with UD concurrent with CDI (a study group) and 30 UD patients without CDI (a comparison group). Epigastric pain was noted in the patients with GUD in the study and comparison groups (91.5 and 84.6%, respectively), but the pain was mainly aching in the patients with concomitant CDI and more intense (77.8%) in those without this condition. In the study group, heartburn was more common in patients with GUD and DUD (75.3 and 71.4%, respectively) than in those with UD in the comparison group (28.5 and 37.5%, respectively). Helicobacter pylori tests were positive in 23.8% of the patients in the study group and in 57.2% in the comparison group. Electrogastrography indicated that the patients with GUD and CDI had bradygastria and hypokinesis on an empty stomach; the electrical activity was reduced after eating. In the comparison group, tachygastria and hyperkinesis were detected on an empty stomach; these postprandial indicators were elevated. H. pylori tests were positive in 34.7% of the patients with DUD and CDI and in 63.6% of those with DUD without CDI. The postprandial electrical activity increased in patients with DUD and decreased in the comparison group. The specific features of changes in gastric and duodenal pH values in GUD and DUD concurrent with CDI in comparison with the isolated course of UD. Conclusion. The immediate and long-term follow-ups show that GUD and DUD concurrent with CDI run a more persistent course; the time of ulcer healing increases and the periods of remission decrease.
