The Comparative Study of three methods of microscopic, urease test and culture in diagnostic of Helicobacter pylori causing peptic ulcer

Abstract Background and objectives: Helicobacter pylori is a helical gram negative bacterium with polar flagella, discovered by Warren and Marshall in 1983. Helicobacter pylori exist in the stomach mucus tissue of less than 20% of people under 30 years old, but this amount would increase up to 40% and 60% in 60- year- old people. The aim of this study was to compare three methods of culture med...

A 3-day anti-Helicobacter pylori therapy is a good alternative for bleeding peptic ulcer patients with Helicobacter pylori infection.

BACKGROUND/AIMS One-week triple therapy has been recommended as a standard regimen for eradicating Helicobacter pylori infection. The emergence of antibiotic-resistant strains, adverse drug effects, poor compliance and high cost of therapy add problems to the management of these patients. In this study, we assessed whether a 3-day triple therapy could be effective in eradicating Helicobacter py...

Diagnosis of Helicobacter pylori infection in patients with bleeding ulcer disease: rapid urease test and histology.

INTRODUCTION The endoscopic diagnosis of Helicobacter pylori infection in patients with bleeding peptic ulcer is limited by a decreased sensitivity in standard invasive tests, rapid urease test and histology. There is controversy about the convenience of using one, neither, or both diagnostic tests. AIMS To evaluate the results of simultaneously performed rapid urease test and histology in th...

THE ASSOCIATION OF CAMPYLOBACTER PYLORI (HELICOBACTER PYLORI) WITH GASTRITIS AND PEPTIC ULCER

We studied the relationship between gastroduodenal inflammation and the presence of Campylobaeter pylori from biopsy specimens of the gastric mucosa in 91 patients with gastritis with or without ulcers and 9 controls, healthy or suffering from other diseases. 68 of the patients were positive for the presence of C. pylori in their gastric mucosa. C. pylori was confirmed bacteriohistological...
