Helicobacter pylori is a bacterium that has been in the limelight of gastroenterologists and oncologists worldwide since its immediate effect on the development of gastritis, ulcer disease, mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma and gastric cancer was proved. The aim of this study was to determine the correlation between the positive immunological test, rapid urease test and pathohistological finding in detecting Helicobacter pylori infection of the gastric mucosa.
