ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Gastric metaplasia occurs in intestinal epithelium of patients with Helicobacter pylori infection as well as intestinal tuberculosis, but the relationship between the three is not clear.SETTING:
Teaching hospital.METHODS:
Staining of intestinal sections from patients with ileocecal tuberculosis for H pylori and for metaplasia.RESULTS:
Twenty seven of 92 (29.3%) patients demonstrated gastric metaplasia (superficial epithelial and pyloric gland metaplasia) in resected specimens of ileum. Gastric metaplasia was of antral type in all 27 patients. Helicobacter pylori was present in 3 of 27 (11%) patients with gastric metaplasia and was absent in all 65 patients without metaplasia.CONCLUSION:
Gastric metaplasia (both superficial epithelial and pyloric gland) occurs in one-third of patients with ileocecal tuberculosis and such mucosa is poorly colonized by H pylori.
