Abstract:
To study the proportion of H. pylori infection in classes of patients with gastroduodenal ulcer, 4 methods were used simultaneously: culture, urease test, Gram stain and histology. The results found that the proportion of H. pylori infection is highest in duodenal ulcer or duodenal ulcer combining with gastritis, gastric ulcer combining with duodenitis (91.7% - 100%). In gastric ulcer or gastritis only, the positive proportion is 54-65% by culture, 54-56% by urease test, 63-82% by Gram stain, 37-52% by histology
