Abstract
Helicobacter Pylori (H. Pylori) is one of the common bacterial infectious diseases predominately affecting the gastrointestinal tract. India being a prototypical developing country, there are about 20 million Indians who are estimated to suffer from peptic ulcer disease, due to H. Pylori infection. However, many people consume Proton pump inhibitor (PPI) with or without being prescribed. The objective of the study was to determine the prevalence of H. Pylori infection in patients with long term dyspepsia at Kelambakkam, Chennai and to compare the efficacy of H. Pylori detection via Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD scopy) biopsy technique at gastric fundus and pylorus.
