[Osteometric features of duodenal ulcer disease in children depending on the clinical course of the illness].

In order to study the state of the bone tissue in children with duodenal ulcer, we conducted research of peripheral parts of the radius and ulna at the computer osteodensitometer DTX-100 (Denmark) with the help of the quality X-ray absorptiometry method. Osteopenias of various degrees of severity were revealed in 47.22% of patients under study.
