			A. Duodenum, Biopsy:
			- Abundant micro-organisms consistent with GIARDIA and small
			bowel mucosa with increased intraepithelial lymphocytes, see comment.
			- NEGATIVE for dysplasia.

			B. Stomach, Biopsy:
			- Body and antral-type mucosa with mild chronic inactive inflammation.
			- NEGATIVE for Helicobacter-like organisms.

			Comment:
			The increased intraepithelial lymphocytes are likely to due to the Giardia; however, other
