Abstract

This study was carried out with an aim to investigate the relationship between gastric
metaplasia with H. pylori and the effect of eradication therapy. A total of 210 patients with
history of dyspepsia were included in the study of which 50 were enrolled in the eradication
therapy. After the eradication therapy 35 patients came for follow-up endoscopy. Paired
endoscopic biopsies were taken from antrum and duodenal ulcer margin and were examined for
H. pylori and for duodenitis and gastric metaplasia. Gastric metaplasia was significantly
associated with H. pylori. After eradication H. pylori showed further extension of gastric
metaplasia. It can be recommended that these patients can be further followed up to see the
course of gastric metaplasia and what impact it has on ulcer recurrence and re-infection.
