Journal Title: Dicle Tıp Dergisi - Year 2014, Vol 41, Issue 3
Abstract
Objective:The aim of this study was to define the distribution of the incidence and location of Helicobacter pyloriin terms of the age and gender in the gastritis patients undergone endoscopy. Methods:Endoscopy and pathology reports of 1,405 patients who undergone biopsy of upper gastrointestinal system endoscopy were retrospectively examined. The frequency and location of Helicobacter pylori infection were evaluated according to the locations, gender and age groups. Based on the Sydney classification, the patients were scored as none (-), low (+), medium (++) and high (+++). Results: A total of 1405 patients (58.6% females, 41.4% males) who had both antrum and corpus biopsies were included. Mean age was 48.58±16.96 (15-94) years. The Helicobacter pylori positivity was significantly higher in males than in the female patients (p=0.012).Helicobacter pylori positivity both in corpus and antrum was 1,101 (78.4%), Helicobacter pylori was negative in 304 (21.6%) patients. Although, females had higher positivity rate, no significant difference was found between the age and gender groups. In 1,064 patients (75.7%) Helicobacter pylori was positive while it was found as negative in 341 (24.3%) biopsies taken from the antrum. While in 572 (40.7%) of the biopsy outcomes taken from the corpus Helicobacter pylori was found as positive, it was found as negative in 833 (59.3%). No statistically significant differences were found between the age groups in terms of the positivity of Helicobacter pylori both in antrum and in corpus. Conclusion: In our study, the frequency of the Helicobacter pylori positivity was 78.4%. This can be accepted as a serious public health problem in terms of the associated diseases. Key words: Helicobacter pylori, incidence, location
