[Campylobacter pylori in patients with liver cirrhosis of different etiologies]

The role of Campylobacter pylori (CP) in the development of chronic gastritis and ulcero-erosive lesions in 76 patients with liver cirrhosis of various etiology is studied. The incidence of CP bacteriosis in liver cirrhosis was 47.3% and the incidence of CP detection by bacteriological methods was not dependent on the cirrhosis etiology. The incidence of CP detection depended on the chronic gastritis activity and the presence of ulcero-erosive lesions. Hypochlorhydria is one of the important factors favouring CP colonization in liver cirrhosis. DE-NOL can be recommended for the treatment of chronic active gastritis and ulcero-erosive lesions.
