Abstract

A patient with rheumatoid arthritis, who also had documented achlorhydria, first had the diagnosis of an antral ulcer made by barium meal in 1980. She did well taking cimetidine intermittently after that, along with various nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). In 1988, a shallow antral ulcer was found, but the patient did not respond to H2 blockade or to sucralfate. At that time misoprostol therapy was prescribed. Despite the continued use of NSAIDs, the ulcer healed. It has remained healed for the past 3 years.
