| [ Summary ] | When examining the stomachs of individuals who were uninfected and those who were infected by Helicobacter pylori (H.pylori), we described the normal endoscopic findings of those uninfected with H.pylori, endoscopic findings of gastric lesions uninfected with H.pylori and endoscopic findings of those infected with H.pylori. The characteristic endoscopic findingsassociated with H.pylori infected gastric mucosa included : diffused, spotty redness in the mucosa of the fundic gland ; swelling of gastric folds in the body of the stomach ; changes in gastric areas of the fundic gland and pyloric gland ; and an advanced fundic pyloric border. Based on these characteristic endoscopic findings of H.pylori infection, the presence or absence of an H.pylori infection can be diagnosed with a high degree of accuracy. This type of assessment is applicable in evaluating the eradication of H.pylori. |
