ABSTRACT
The presence of Campylobacter pylori in gastric mucosa of patients with dyspeptic complaints has been described. The association of the symptoms and endoscopic and histopathologic alterations with the presence of the bacterium still remains unknown. 117 patients were studied with respect to dyspeptic symptoms, endoscopic and histopathologic examinations, microbiological analysis and urease test to detect Campylobacter pylori. Campylobacter pylori was found in 77 per cent of all patients. Of these 36.8 per cent had normal gastric mucosa and 84.7 per cent presented gastritis. There was no association between the symptoms, the endoscopic and histological findings.
