Histological patterns in gastric biopsies and their association with helicobacter pylori infection

ABSTRACT

Background: Helicobacter Pylori [H. Pylori] is recognized as the primary cause of chronic gastritis and gastric diseases. H. Pylori is associated with increased risk of gastric cancer through the development of a multi-step carcinogenesis. Multiple biopsies of gastric mucosa are helpful in making a categorical diagnosis of H. Pylori induced gastric lesions
