Abstract

Objectives: Helicobacter pylori (HP) is a gram-negative, microaerophilic bacterium that causes stomach infections. Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) is one of the most common gastrointestinal disorders in the population, and its relationship with HP infection is still controversial. Although there are some articles in the literature that support the onset of esophagitis in patients with HP, a clear causal relationship between GERD and HP infection has not yet been established. The aim of this study is to evaluate the relationship between GERD and HP infection Materials and Methods: The files and gastroscopy reports of 1549 patients who underwent upper GIS endoscopy in the Gastroenterology Unit were evaluated. In addition to clinical features, 536 patients endoscopically diagnosed with GERD were included in the study. Endoscopy and pathology reports of 536 patients diagnosed with GERD were evaluated and analyzed for HP, esophagitis and intestinal metaplasia. Results: HP positivity was found in 229 (42,72%) of 536 patients diagnosed with GERD. Esophagitis was detected in 7,42% of patients with HP positive, and 13,35% of patients with HP negative had esophagitis. The frequency of esophagitis was found to be statistically significantly lower in those with positive HP (p=0,026). Conclusion: We found that patients with negative HP had significantly frequent reflux-esophagitis. This finding was consistent with the literature supporting the opposite relationship between HP and reflux-esophagitis. In the light of the knowledge obtained from the literature, it is thought that HP eradication in all patients with GERD will not reduce symptoms or may increase it.

Özet

Amaç: Helicobacter pylori (HP) midede enfeksiyona neden olan gram negatif mikroaerofilik bir bakteri türüdür. Gastroözofageal Reflü Hastalığı (GÖRH) toplumdaki en yaygın gastrointestinal rahatsızlıklardan biridir ve HP enfeksiyonu ile arasındaki ilişki ise hala tartışma konusudur. Literatürde, HP ile enfekte olan hastalarda özofajit başlangıcını destekleyen bazı makaleler olmasına rağmen, GÖRH ve HP enfeksiyonu arasında net bir nedensel ilişki henüz kurulmamıştır. Bu çalışmanın amacı, GÖRH ile HP enfeksiyonu arasındaki ilişkiyi değerlendirmektir. Materyal ve Metot: Dr.Lütfi Kırdar Kartal EAH Gastroenteroloji Ünitesinde üst GİS endoskopisi yapılan 1549 hastanın dosyaları ve gastroskopi raporları değerlendirildi. Klinik özelliklerin yanı sıra endoskopik olarak GÖRH tanısı koyulmuş 536 hasta çalışmaya dahil edildi. GÖRH tanısı konulmuş 536 hastanın endoskopi ve patoloji raporları taranarak HP, özofajit ve intestinal metaplazi açısından analiz edildi. Bulgular: GÖRH tanısı konan 536 hastanın 229’unda (%42,72) HP pozitifliği saptandı. HP pozitif olan hastaların %7,42’sinde özofajit saptandı, HP negatif olan hastaların ise %13,35’inde özofajit vardı. HP pozitif olanlarda özofajit sıklığı istatiksel olarak anlamlı düşük bulundu (p=0,026). Sonuç: HP negatif olan hastalarda anlamlı derecede sık reflü-özofajit olduğunu gördük. Bu bulgu HP ile reflü-özofajit arasındaki zıt ilişkiyi destekleyen literatür ile uyumluydu. Literatürden edinilen bilgi birikimi ışığında GÖRH olan tüm hastalarda HP eradikasyonunun, bir grup hastada semptomları geriletmeyeceği belki de arttırabileceği düşünülmektedir.
