NON-HELICOBACTER PYLORI HELICOBACTER GASTRITIS DIAGNOSED DURING ROUTINE MEDICAL CHECKUP: A SERIES OF 14 CASES

Abstract

Non-Helicobacter pylori Helicobacter gastritis (NHPHG) was detected in 14 of 298 patients (4.7％) who underwent gastric tissue biopsy during routine medical checkup. The prevalence of NHPHG observed in this study was higher than that reported by previous studies, which suggests that NHPHG is not uncommon as was previously assumed.
