To study the prevalence of Helicobacter pylori infection in dyspeptic Jordanian patients.
Patients And Methods:
Two hundred and twenty seven consecutive dyspeptic Jordanian patients were studied with endoscopy, endoscopic biopsies, culture, and CLO urease testing for the detection of H. pylori.
Results:
Helicobacter pylori positivity in both culture and CLO urease testing was 86%, being 78% in culture and 80% in CLO test separately. The majority of our patients were in the age range 21-60 years and H. pylori positivity was more than 90% in them.
Conclusion:
Helicobacter pylori is a common infection in dyspeptic Jordanian patients regardless of the underlying cause. Males were affected more than females.
