Abstract:
200 patients over 18 years old were diagnosed with peptic ulcer. Two specimens were taken on each patient: from the corpus and 1/3 andral, which were put into each urease test hole. The results were diagnosed with H. pylori infection with urease test by reading biopsyspecimen after 1 hour and 24 hours. With 83.5% patient having used drugs before endoscopy, the percentage of H. pylori (+) from the corpus and the antral specimen is significantly different (65% vs 68.5%) but using specimens from both sites increases significantly the H. pylori positivity from 65% to 78%
