Abstract:
The objective of this study was to compare histology and microbiology (direct method, urease test, culture) for the detection of Helicobacter pylori in antral biopsies. Thirty-six patients, aged between 18 and 82, with a peptic ulcer (active or not), or gastritis or duodenitis were studied. Eighteen patients (50%) had a positive culture, 17 (47%) had a positive urease test, 16 (41%) had positive direct microbiology and 15 (42%) had positive histology. Correlation between histology and culture was 84%. This study confirms the good sensitivity of histology and the urease test for the detection of Helicobacter pylori. Combination of both methods could optimise detection of the organism.

Few clinical manifestations differentiate gastric ulcers from duodenal ulcers. Distinctions in the location, timing, and pain relief are crucial for healthcare providers in differentiating between gastric and duodenal ulcers during clinical assessments.
