Abstract
Peroral biopsy specimens from gastric or intestinal mucosa and skin biopsies from 18 diabetics with late vascular complications were studied. In 6 of the 10 patients examined, capillaropathy in the skin was found, whereas in all cases the mucosa capillaries were found to be normal. The capillaries in skin biopsies from 18 non-diabetic patients and jejunal biopsies from 9 nondiabetic patients were found to be normal.Keywords
