title: [Non ulcer dyspepsia, endoscopic gastritis and Helicobacter pylori].
abstract: We studied 33 patients with non ulcer dyspepsia and endoscopic gastritis. 21 were female (63.4%) and 12 male (36.4%). Helicobacter pylori (HP) was investigated by gastric mucosal biopsy. Urease test, Gram, culture, and histology were performed in all and two or more of these test hat to be positive to consider HP infection. 16/33 resulted HP positive (48.8%). Erosive gastritis was most commonly associated with H.P. infection (62.5%). This was statistically significant. In all the cases HP positive chronic gastritis was present. 15/16 were active chronic gastritis. Our results suggest that erosive gastritis is most frequently associated with HP infection and non ulcer dyspepsia.
