Prevalence of Helicobacter pylori at antral mucosa of patients with dyspepsia at University District Hospital.
A total of 120 patients with dyspepsia were evaluated by endoscopy to determine the prevalence of Helicobacter pylori in the gastric antrum in 1988. It was found that duodenal ulcer and gastric ulcer were highly associated with this bacteria. Also statistically significant association between H.p. and active gastritis was observed.
