Dyspeptic Symptoms

Background: More than half of the world’s population is infected with Helicobacter pylori, the primary cause of chronic gastritis. Chronic gastritis is associated with peptic ulcer and in advanced stages with an increased risk of developing gastric adenocarcinoma. The aim of the study was to determine the prevalence of Helicobacter pylori infection in dyspeptic patients and its relationship with gastroduodenal pathologies using gastric biopsy histology.Methods: A cross sectional prospective study was conducted from 1st January 2018 to 30th June 2019. It included out-patients and in-patients, presenting with dyspeptic symptoms and undergoing upper GI Endoscopy, at S. Nijalingappa Medical College and HSK hospital, Bagalkot, Karnataka, India. Endoscopic impressions were noted. In case of any abnormal findings on upper gastrointestinal endoscopy, endoscopic biopsy was obtained. Histopathological assessment of gastric mucosa was done after staining with H and E stain and Giemsa stain. The histopathological diagnosis of Helicobacter pylori infection in biopsy specimen will be mainly done using the Modified Giemsa stain.Results: 105 patients with dyspepsia were studied in total. Out of which, 44 patients (41.9%) were detected positive for Helicobacter pylori infection.Conclusions: The burden of Helicobacter pylori infection in patients with dyspepsia was high. Early diagnosis and eradication of Helicobacter pylori not only improves symptoms but also help to prevent complications associated with Helicobacter pylori infections.

Abstract Aim There is insufficient knowledge on the * duodenal histology and Helicobacter pylori infection in malnourished Bangladeshi children. Therefore, we attempted to explore the prevalence of H. pylori infection and duodenal histopathology in 2-year-old chronic malnourished Bangladeshi slum-dwelling children and investigate their association with dyspeptic symptoms. Methods This cross-sectional study was conducted using the data of the Bangladesh Environmental Enteric Dysfunction study in an urban slum of Dhaka, Bangladesh. With a view to address the association of environmental enteric dysfunction (EED) with stunting, upper gastrointestinal endoscopy was performed on 54 chronic malnourished children {31 stunted [length-for-age Z-scores (LAZ) <−2] and 23 at risk of stunting (LAZ <−1 to −2)} aged between 12–24 months and the mucosal biopsies were subjected to histopathological examination after obtaining proper clinical history. Stool antigen for H. pylori (HpSA) was assessed to determine H. pylori status. Results In all, 83.3% (45/54) of the children had histopathological evidence of duodenitis. Chronic mild duodenitis was found to be the most prevalent form of duodenitis (53.7%) in the children. Only 8.9% (4/45) of the children with duodenitis had dyspepsia (p < 0.05). The 14.8% (8/54) of the children were found positive for H. pylori infection. Logistic regression analysis revealed children positive for HpSA had significant association with dyspepsia (OR 9.34; 95% CI 1.54–56.80). Conclusions The number of chronic malnourished children suffering from duodenitis was found to be very high. Majority of these children was asymptomatic. Children positive for HpSA had significant association with dyspeptic symptoms.

Microscopic Appearance

Background: Chronic gastritis is a chronic inflammation of the gastric mucosa, accompanied by changes in mucosal histology with or without Helicobacter pylori infection. Changes in the gastric mucosa include gastric mucosal atrophy, intestinal metaplasia, and epithelial dysplasia. Purposes: This study aims to determine the microscopic appearance of the mucosa in chronic gastritis patients based on standard histopathological criteria, which include gland atrophy, intestinal metaplasia, dysplasia with or without Helicobacter pylori infection at Pertamina Central Hospital Jakarta period 2018 - 2019. Methods: This retrospective study was conducted in a cross-sectional study from March 15 to March 25, 2020. Results: This study reported 303 cases of active chronic gastritis (38.4%) out of 790 total samples that met the inclusion criteria. Microscopic changes of the mucosa were found in the form of atrophy of the mucous glands in 254 cases (32.2%), intestinal metaplasia in 25 cases (3.2%), and epithelial dysplasia cases in 23 cases (2.9%). Conclusion: the proportion of active chronic gastritis patients found in this study was helicobacter pylori infection is more dominantly found in patients with active chronic gastritis than in non-active chronic gastritis. The description of atrophic glands in chronic gastritis patients was more dominant than parameters based on intestinal metaplasia and epithelial dysplasia. It was a finding of intestinal metaplasia compared to all cases showing risk factors that require further clinical observation (follow-up) to detect potential malignancies earlier so that it is necessary to do more preventive action.

Dyspeptic Symptoms

Background: Helicobacter pylori infection is a global public health problem and may be present in more than half of the world’s population  Prevalence in developing country higher compared to developed country. However, in Indonesia prevalence of Helicobacter pylori infection is still low compare to other Asian countries. This study aims to determine the prevalence of Helicobacter pylori infection in Abdi Waluyo Hospital Jakarta from January 2017 to December 2019.Method: In this cross sectional study, a total of 772 adult patients were tested using Urea Breath Test-14C for detection of isotopic carbon produced by Helicobacter pylori ability to broke down urea.Results: Prevalence of Helicobacter pylori infection in Abdi Waluyo hospital between January 2017 – December 2019 was 20.98% with endoscopic findings as follows: 17.48% with gastritis,  3.24% with gastric ulcers , 0.26% with gastric cancerConclusion: Increase prevalence of Helicobacter pylori infection every year in Abdi Waluyo hospital. It is suggested to perfom Urea Breath Test for adult patients with dyspeptic symptoms to screened Helicobacter pylori infection.
