These bacteria caused many gastroduodenal pathology such as chronic active gastritis, peptic ulcer and gastric malignancy. This study investigated Helicobacter pylori infections in dyspeptic patients.
Materials & Methods: Forty dyspeptic patients were examined using upper gastrointestinal endoscopy and biopsy for histopathologic examination.
Results: The symptom of the dyspeptic patients were epigastric tenderness (100%). Endoscopic abnormalities were found in 39 (97.5%) cases. The gastric abnormalities were chronic antral gastritis in 24 (60%), esophagitis and gastritis in 7 (17.5%), and gastric ulcer in 3 (7.5%). Twenty four out of 40 patients had anti-Helicobacter pylori positive (60%) and histopathologic examination were positive 18 (45%). The histopathologic examination found atrophy in 18 (45%), MN in 18 (45%), PMN in 18 (45%), and metaplastic in 4 (10%).
Conclusion : The prevalence of Helicobacter pylori in dyspeptic patients were 60% (serology) and 45% (histopathology).
