Extract

The usual cause of hæmatemesis is erosion of the gastric mucosa through some acute peptic ulcer, or as a complication in chronic peptic ulcer. Dated clinical and personal histories and an outline of the characteristics of the individual before the onset of symptoms were obtained from 16 female and 34 unselected male patients with severe hæmatemesis.
