Abstract

AIM: To study relationship of clonorchiasis and nonulcer dyspepsia.

METHODS: To assay clonorchiasis sinensis eggs in stool and antibody in serum, observe pyloric function by stomach endoscopy.

RESULTS: The eggs positive rate was 23.12%, antibody positive rate was 33.33% in 186 patients. Assay of serum antibody is more sensitive than stool eggs test (P < 0.01). Its two clinical types of NUD, reflux like dyspepsia and dysmotility like dyspepsia that had higher infected rate of clonorchiasis sinensis than others (P < 0.01). Either infected or uninfected patient revealed proportion of abnormal pyloric function (P > 0.05).

CONCLUSION: Clonorchiasis is one of causes of NUD, specially reflux like dyspepsia and dysmotility like dyspepsia in delta of pearl liver.

Keywords: Clonorchiasis; Non-ulcer dyspepsia
