[The use of the atropine test in patients with duodenal peptic ulcer]
Abstract:
Results of the studies made showed that among the examined patients who took part in the elimination of the aftermath of the Chernobyl accident, a positive atropin test was recordable in 38 (63%), a negative one in 16 (27%), weakly positive in 6(10%). In the control group of patients with duodenal ulcer a positive atropin test was in 73%, a negative one in 9%, and weakly positive in 18%. The difference between the frequency of a negative atropin test in the main and control groups was statistically significant (P < 0.05). The results obtained attest to the need for the atropin test to be done in patients with duodenal ulcer to prescribe pathogenetically substantiated therapy treatments tailored to the individual.
