title: Correlation of H. pylori density with grading of chronic gastritis.
abstract: Histopathological study of endoscopic gastric mucosa obtained from 251 patients with acid peptic diseases were studied in relation to the degrees of inflammation and the degree of H. Pylori density. Haematoxylin-Eosin and modified Giemsa stains were used. Gastritis grading was done according to Warren and Marshall with slight modification and H. Pylori grading according to our criteria. In this study no definite relationship could be observed between histological grading of chronic gastritis with that of H. Pylori density.
