Abstract
The recognition of several disease processes that cause or are associated with gastrointestinal malabsorption has led to extensive investigation into their pathogenesis, diagnosis, and treatment. This review of selected articles covers a range of subjects related to some of the more common malabsorptive disease. Selected topics including celiac disease, disaccharidase deficiencies, short bowel syndrome, and Crohn disease are discussed.
