| prevalence of helicobacter pylori among nigerian patients with dyspepsia in ibadan. | determination of the true prevalence of helicobacter pylori (h. pylori) is difficult in a hyper-endemic area like nigeria with use of serological tests because of their low discriminatory power between previous and current infections. the use of biopsy based methods will go a long way to mitigate this problem. we investigated the prevalence of h. pylori in dyspeptic patients and its relationship with gastroduodenal pathologies using gastric biopsy histology and rapid urease test. | 2010 | 21734925 |
