The objectives of this study were to determine the prevalence of H. pylori infection in patients with gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms and to describe the association of H. pylori infection with demographic data, clinical diagnosis, and previous histories of patients. The study was carried out at the gastroenterology unit of Queen Sawang Wattana Memorial Hospital, Chon Buri, Thailand. The diagnosis of H. pylori infection was done by culture and rapid urease test on the gastric biopsy specimens of 112 patients. The overall prevalence of H. pylori infection by the gastric biopsy-based method was 58%. The prevalence of H. pylori infection in duodenal ulcer (DU) patients (75%) was significantly higher than in gastric ulcer (GU) patients (56.4%) and patients with gastritis (44.1%). A reverse correlation was observed between H. pylori infection and household income. The prevalence of H. pylori inf...

To clarify this issue, we analyzed 120 patients with histologically confirmed esophageal disease. Material and methods: In this prospective study, 120 patients who underwent upper endoscopy examination were included; among them 70 patients with clinically, endoscopically and histologically confirmed GERD, and 50 patients with BE. This investigation was performed in the Clinic of Gastrohepatology in Prishtina, during the period: June 2009-December 2011. Each patient was investigated for H. pylori infection, by performing biopsy for HUT test. Results: In BE group, H. pylori infection was present in 16.0% of patients. In GERD group, H. pylori infection was present in 42.9%, and in patients of the control group, in 52.0% of cases. So, in BE group, the prevalence of H. pylori infection showed less significant difference, compared to the control group (P = 0.003) and in GERD group (P = 0.0035). Between GERD group and the control group there was no significant difference (GERD vs. G control. P = 0.421). Conclusion: The prevalence of H. pylori infection in patients with BE (16%) was lower in comparison with patients with GERD (42.9%) and with control group (p <0.01). The prevalence of H. pylori infection in patients with BE, especially those with LSBE (9.1%) was very low, which indicates a possible protective role of this microorganism.
