Objective: To determine the gastric histopathological types distribution of H. pylori positive patients who were detected histopathologically. Material& Methods: Study design was prospective study. Consecutive patients who were suffering chronic dyspepsia underwent endoscopy examination between August 1998 and December 1999. The biopsy specimens were taken from gastric antrum and corpus and sent to the pathologist for histopathology type and H. pylori examinations. H. pylori were also confirmed with CLO and IgG‐Helicobacter pylori tests. Results: There were 92 patients (48 male (M) and 44 Female (F) who underwent gastric biopsies endoscopically between August 1998 and December 1999. Fifty‐six (60.87%) patients were chronic superficial gastritis, 11(11.96%) chronic antropic gastritis, 18 (19.56%) chronic gastritis 2 (2.17%) chronic gastritis with metaplasia, 3 (3.27%) gastric ulcer, and 2 (2.17%) gastric signet‐ring cell carcinoma. Twenty one (22.8%) patients with H. pylori positive by histopathology examination with CLO and IgG‐H.pylori tests. Those were 5 (8.90%) patients with chronic superficial gastritis, 7(63.63%) chronic atrophic gastritis, 3(100%) gastric ulcer, 2 (100%) chronic gastritis with metaplasia, 3(16.67%) chronic gastritis, 1(50%) signet‐ring cell carcinoma. The age range of the H. pylori positive patients were between 16 and 76 years old. Conclusion: Twenty one (22.8%) H. pylori positive patients out of 92 endoscopied patients and the high percentage tendency of H. pylori positively in chronic atrophic gastritis, gastric ulcer, and chronic gastritis with metaplasia, although most of the patients had chronic superficial gastritis. Further study is needed with larger with larger sample to get the clearer picture of H. pylori distribution based on gastric histopathological types.
