| antimicrobial susceptibility pattern of helicobacter pylori strains isolated from adult dyspeptic patients in tikur anbassa university hospital, addis ababa, ethiopia. | presently, there is no published information on the antimicrobial susceptibility pattern of h. pylori strains in ethiopia to guide the choice of drug for therapy. therefore, it is becoming clinically relevant to test the in vitro susceptibility of h. pylori clinical isolates prior to treating patients. susceptibility testing was performed on 50 clinical h. pylori isolates obtained from adult dyspeptic patients referred to the gastrointestinal (gi) clinic of tikur anbassa university hospital. fiv ... | 2004 | 16895024 |
| association of dyspepsia symptoms and helicobacter pylori infections in private higher clinic, addis ababa, ethiopia. | the discovery of helicobacter pylori [h. pylori] by marshall and warren revealed that, this organism has been implicated as the main etiological agent in the development of acute and chronic active gastritis, peptic ulcer disease, gastric cancer and mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue [malt] lymphoma in humans. recent estimates suggest that 50% of the world's population is infected with this gastric bacterium. dyspepsia is a complex set of symptoms, rather than an indication of a specific disease ... | 2011 | 21796910 |
| prevalence of helicobacter pylori infection among adult dyspeptic patients in ethiopia. | in developing countries such as ethiopia, where chronic gastritis and peptic-ulcer disease are the most common endoscopic findings, it is important to study the association between helicobacter pylori infection and gastroduodenal diseases. both invasive and non-invasive diagnostic methods were therefore used to investigate 300, consecutive, adult patients with dyspepsia, from the gastrointestinal clinic of tikur anbassa university hospital, addis ababa. the apparent overall prevalence of h. pylo ... | 2004 | 15035728 |
