[The Helicobacter pylori role in origination of hemorrhage in elderly and senile patients with duodenal ulcer disease].
During examination of 37 patients with duodenal ulcer disease aging more than 60 years it was established that while presence of the ulcer complicated by bleeding the revelation frequency of Helicobacter pylori (HP) in gastric antrum is increasing up to 74% and in cases of noncomplicated ulcer--70%. HP was revealed most frequently in patients with "senile" ulcer. For an "inveterate" ulcer the presence of S-like forms is typical. The absence of HP in 41.6% patients with "senile" ulcer testifies the presence of other mechanisms of occurrence and support of bleeding.
