[The presence and significance of Helicobacter pylori in patients with enterogastric reflux].
The aim of the study is assessment of the relationship between enterogastric reflux and the presence of Helicobacter pylori infection as a factors that cause gastritis, peptic ulcer and adenocarcinoma ventriculi. The study was performed in 52 patients with different digestive disorders, using gamma camera, during 90 minutes (1 frame/min) after intravenous injection of 185 MBq 99mTc-dietil IDA in cubital vein. According to time activity curves from the region of hepatobiliary system and gaster, index of enterogastric reflux was assessed (EGR). There is no correlation between the presence of Helicobacter pylori and EGR (r = 0.181, DF = 52, P < 0.05). However, Helicobacter is present more frequently in the patients with positive EGR (p 0.01). However, there is no significant difference (p < 0.05) in reflux value in patients with both positive and negative finding of Helicobacter.
