Title:Chemical gastritis after chronic bromazepam intake: a case report
Version: 1Date:24 March 2010
Reviewer: Angelo Paulo Paolo Ferrari
Reviewer's report:
Major Revision
The author reports on a single case of a 82-year-old patients with GERD-like
symptoms in whom upper endoscopy revealed duodenal mucosal discoloration
and histopathology findings could be compatible with bromazepam chronic
intake. Because of the lacking regarding temporal symptoms (the patient has
been taking the drug for two years) it is very difficult to state that such alterations
were secondary to the drug, although, the theoretical argument proposed is very
elegant. Maybe the authors could screen other people taking the drug for such
long periods to be sure that the association is possible.
Level of interest: An article of limited interest
Quality of written English: Needs some language corrections before being
published
Statistical review: No, the manuscript does not need to be seen by a
statistician.
