Abstract

To know the relationship between gastroduodenal diseases and Helicobacter pylori infection we investigated the prevelence of H. pylori infection in 3,248 residents of Kyungpook providence who have participated in a cancer screening program of IgG anti-H. pylori antibody test. Among 3,248 residents we compared the patients having gastroduodenal diseases in X-ray films of upper gastrointestinal series with the normal control group showing normal film. H. pylori infection was positive in 70.9% of 1,216 control group, and was positive in 87.5% of 1,315 gastroduodenal disease patients. In gastroduodenal diseases group, H. Pylori infection was positive in 87.3% (p value 0.000) of 1,240 gastritis patients, positive in 93.3% (p value 0.056) of 15 gastric ulcer patients, positive in 86.2% (p value 0.072) of 29 duodenitis, and positive in 93.5% (p value 0.006) of 31 duodenal ulcer patients. H. pylori infection was more frequent in gastroduodenal disease patients than in the normal control group in general population.
