Additional Info
- no previous history of bleeding or perforation
- I think confirmation of H.Pylori must be/should have been done by scope and biopsy for verification-it would be similiar to previous coding differentiation of "Esophagitis -(non-infectious)" otherwise--Llemoine 07:37, 2018 June 21 (CDT)
- Lou, I don't see any instructions like that in the Esophagitis page, can you explain where those came from? Ttenbergen 10:44, 2018 June 29 (CDT)
