Abstract

|
Sigmiodoscopy, biopsy and replica cytology of rectum were done on 140 cases witz colonic symptoms or Iower abdominal discomfort including 27 cases of cholera and the following results were obtained.
1. Inflammatory findings by biopsy and replica cytology correlated fairly well with sigmoidoscepic findings but no close relationships between these three methods were noted.
2. About 3.8% of those with negative sigmoidoscopy and rectal biopsy (93 cases, excluding cholera) showed definite evidence of inflammation.
3. About 40 and 50% of those with hyperemic mucosa by sigmoidoscopy (10 cases) showed increased inflammatory cells by biopsy and replica cytology respectively and 10% showed definite evidence of inflammation by replica cytology.
4. On cafes of colitis with ulcerations by sigmoidoscopy (10 ca;aes), biopsy and replica cytology were done on areas of intervening mucosa between ulcers or eros:icns and about 60 and 80 % ~~f cases showed inflammatory evidence by biopsy and replica cytology respectively.
5. Among 27 cases of cholera, about 18% showed pictures of colitis by sigmodioscopy. Rectal biopsy presented increased inflammatory cells in the mucosa in about 29.6. % of cases while replica cyt-ology showed increased inflammatory cells in 18.5 %and definite evidence of inflammation in 7.4,x.
6. Repillcca cytology appeared to be a valuable method for the detection of inflammation of the rec-tal mucosa.
