Abstract:
Background & Objectives: Helicobacter pylori is a gram-negative, limped,
microaerophilic bacterium with polar flagella and is the main cause of
chronic gastritis, peptic ulcer disease and distal gastric cancer. This study
aimed to evaluate the prevalence of helicobacter pylori in patients with upper
gastrointestinal symptoms referring to Imam Khomeini Hospital of Sari in
2013.
Materials and Methods: This descriptive, cross-sectional study was
conducted on 120 patients with upper gastrointestinal symptoms undergoing
endoscopy. For the rapid diagnosis of helicobacter pylori, biopsy was used
to perform urease test immediately after endoscopy. Data analysis was
performed using descriptive statistics (mean and frequency) in SPSS V.16.
Results: In this study, 65 patients (54.15%) were infected with helicobacter
pylori, and the prevalence of infection increased with age. In addition, the
prevalence rate was higher among women (57.5%) compared to men
(42.5%). However, this difference was not statistically significant (P<0.19).
Conclusion: According to the results of this study, the prevalence of bacterial
infections in Sari is within the moderate range. Therefore, raising public
awareness and using efficient health care measures could lead to the proper
management and prevention of these infections.
