Of 150 patients studied, 63 had tissular changes associated to Helicobacter pylori (Hp), 8 had Hp without tissular related changes (of whom 3 suffered bulbar ulcus and 1 gastric ulcus); the rest of the patients had hiatus hernia associated to distal esophagitis or pyloric stenosis; and only one patient was found to have normal tissue.
