| Abstract: | Fibreoptic oesophagogastroduodenoscopy (OGD) was performed on 45 dysplastic patients suspected of having peptic ulcer (PU). Evidence of PU was found in 39.9% and no abnormality was detected in 60%. Epigastric pain alone (62.2%) and with vomiting (15.5%) were the major reasons for suspecting PU. There were no complications arising from the procedure. It is concluded that OGD is a safe procedure which should be made more available and that the pattern of PUD in Eldoret is similar to that in Nairobi. |
