[Fungus invasion in the morphogenesis of gastro-duodenal ulcers]

The goal of the study was the clarification of the role of the fungus Candida in the course of the ulcer. The combination of morphological, cultural and immunological methods was used for the diagnosis of the fungus involvement. Inhibition of the reparative processes by the fungus Candida was shown in the experiment on the model of the chronic gastric ulcer. It is concluded that in patients with chronic ulcers histological examination of the biopsies for fungi should be performed.
