AİM: Helicobacter pylori is a gram–negative, spiral–shaped, urease–positive bacteria that infects human worldwide. the aim of this study is to

compare endoscopic findings with the presence of H. pylori.

PATİENTS AND METHOD: Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (OGD) was performed in Helicobacter pylori IgG (+) 50 patients and Helicobacter

pylori IgG (–) 19 patients from patients admitted to Kahramanmaraş S�t�� İmam University Medical Faculty Internal Diseases and

Gastroenterology clinic with dyspeptic complaints. Patients were divided into two groups according to whether they were Helicobacter pylori IgG

(+) or (–). Patients in each group were classified according to their endoscopic diagnosis.

RESULT : There were 69 patients in this study and 50 of them were selected from Helicobacter pylori IgG (+) group and 19 from Helicobacter

pylori IgG (–) patients. Among 68 patients of 69 had gastritis (98.6%). There was only 1 patient without gastritis.

The rate of erosive gastritis was 12/50 (24%) in Helicobacter pylori IgG (+) group and 10/19 in Helicobacter pylori IgG (–) group (52.6%) (p =

0.024).

Bulbitis was detected in 34/50 (68%) of patients with Helicobacter pylori IgG (+). 16/19 of the patients with Helicobacter pylori IgG (–) had

bulbitis (84%) (p = 0.534).

The rate of esophagitis was 8/50 (16%) in Helicobacter pylori IgG (+) group and 4/19 (21%) in Helicobacter pylori IgG (–) group (p = 0,431).

CONCLUSION : it can be said that studies with a larger number of patients are needed in order to be able to reveal the relationship between

Helicobacter pylori antibody (+) serology and endoscopic diagnoses serologically.
