[Characteristics of Helicobacter pylori infection, presence of gastroduodenal and gastroesophageal reflux in patients with erosive gastritis].

A total of 32 patients with chronic antral gastritis without erosion were examined together with 25 patients with chronic erosive antral gastritis. The conclusion reached was that in the above conditions, one could see different strains of Helicobacter pylori. In chronic erosive antral gastritis vs erosion-free chronic antral gastritis H. pylori are found with higher frequency in the antral segment of the stomach, the mucous membrane exhibiting a higher degree of infectious lesion, gastroesophageal reflux occurring far more frequently.
