Abstract

Abstract : Most series of haematemesis or melaena present data about the clinical problems in relation to the final diagnosis. When a patient is admitted there is the problem of management which depends to a considerable extent on the diagnosis. This paper demonstrates that it is possible to achieve an accurate diagnosis in 80% during the first 24 hours.
