The Relation between Helicobacter Pylori Density and Gastritis Severity

Abstract

Helicobacter Pylori affects many individuals in developing countries. Inflammation caused by Helicobacter Pylori differs depending on the virulence factors, density and host tissue response of the bacteria. This study is intended to investigate the relation between density of Helicobacter Pylori colonization in gastric mucosa in biopsy specimens and gastric mucosal inflammation severity.
