title: [Potentialities of digital videoendoscopic diagnosis of Helicobacter infection in chronic inflammatory diseases of the stomach and duodenum].
abstract: The aim of the study was to evaluate efficiency of a new endoscopic diagnostic tool based on the NBI-technology for the detection of Helicobacter pylori (Hp) content. A total of 294 patients with chronic inflammatory diseases of the stomach and duodenum were examined for the assessment of severity and extent of inflammatory processes. Staining intensity of gastric and duodenal mucosa in the NBI regime was shown to correlate with the degree of inflammation. Gastric metaplastic foci could be visualized due to their deep blue staining. Their distribution was unrelated to Ph occurrence and content. It is concluded that the use of the NBI technology for routine oesogastroduodenoscopy improves visualization of inflammatory changes in gastric and duodenal mucosa.
