Digestive function of the stomach in diphyllobothriosis

Abstract

Diphyllobothriosis is a chronic intestinal helminthiasis in which all parts of the gastrointestinal tract are involved in the pathological process. Experimental diphyllobotriose observed violation of digestion of food substances in the small intestine, in clinical studies - disorders of absorption.
 The works of several researchers found that acid formation and motility of the stomach, the absorptive function of the small intestine are not restored immediately after deworming. This requires a period longer than the two-month observation accepted in polyclinics. An important task is to determine the optimal timing of the follow-up.
