title: Role of Helicobacter species in Chinese patients with inflammatory bowel disease.
abstract: Based on 16S rRNA gene PCR, no significant difference was observed in rates of detection of Helicobacter species in intestinal biopsy specimens from 160 Chinese inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients (10%) and 80 controls (6.3%). By using a [(13)C]urea breath test, the H. pylori infection rate in 208 Chinese IBD patients (19.7%) was found to be significantly lower than that in 416 controls (48.8%).
