RESUMEN
Se realizó una investigación descriptiva y retrospectiva de los pacientes mayores de 18 años a los que se les practicó endoscopia del tracto digestivo superior en el Servicio de Gastroenterología del Hospital Clínica Popular "Simón Bolívar" del Estado Carabobo, en la República Bolivariana de Venezuela, en el periodo de enero del 2010 a diciembre del 2012, con vistas a comprobar si existía infección por Helicobacter pylori en esta porción del sistema digestivo, según algunas variables clínicas, epidemiológicas y endoscópicas de interés. Entre los resultados sobresalientes de la casuística figuró la infección por dicha bacteria, que fue más frecuente en las edades de 31-60 años y en el sexo femenino; de igual modo, la epigastralgia y la pangastritis eritematosa erosiva estuvieron mayormente asociadas al microorganismo. Pudo concluirse que la endoscopia es el pilar para el diagnóstico del Helicobacter pylori.
