We studied the relationship between gastroduodenal inflammation and
the presence of Campylobaeter pylori from biopsy specimens of the gastric
mucosa in 91 patients with gastritis with or without ulcers and 9 controls,
healthy or suffering from other diseases.
68 of the patients were positive for the presence of C. pylori in their
gastric mucosa. C. pylori was confirmed bacteriohistologically in 22 out of31
cases with chronic gastritis, six of nine cases with gastric ulcer, 14 of 18 cases
with duodenitis and 26 of 28 cases with duodenal ulcer.
The control group and five patients with gastric cancer, all were
negative for the presence of C.pylori.
Our results are in agreement with the published data confirming the
close association between chronic gastroduodenal inflammation and Campylobaeter
pylori.
