Abstract
Studies on gastric X-ray figures by indirect blind photographing were made on 208 tbc. patients, who were treated with antibiotics.
Concerning gastric forms, by our data, the ptosis form was found in relative higher percent, as by former reports on tbc. patients without chemotherapical treatments. This fact is very remarkable, because the gastric juice showed almost normal acidity, as in our first report described. If the gastric form means, in a way, the constitution of patients, the ptosis form must show the predispositions to tuberculosis, which can not be concealed by chemotherapy. So we believe the constitution of tbc. patient, as far as the gastric form concerned, as same in present time as in former time, regardless of chemotherapy. Moreover, by our data, the ptosis form was found in higher percent in younger age, against the fact that this form is found, in general, more in higher age. What does this mean? This must be a problem concerned to the predisposition to tuberculosis in younger age.
Concerning to excretion time and tonicity of stomach, almost none to be described.
About gastric rugae, an eminent difference was found between our data and former reporters. The slender type was found in very lower and the rough in relative higher percent, rerenced to former reports. This must be caused by the improvement of nutritive condition of tbc. patients by chemotherapical treatments.
