The prevalence of Helicobacter pylori in patients with upper gastrointestinal symptoms in the north of Jordan was studied prospectively. The occurrence of H. pylori was documented histologically and bacteriologically in 169 patients attending endoscopy for upper gastrointestinal symptoms. Our results showed that H. pylori was present in 70% of patients with acute gastritis, 73% of patients with chronic gastritis, 68% of patients with acute on chronic gastritis, 83% of patients with duodenal ulceration, 75% of the patients with gastric ulceration, 64% of patients with no pathology, and 68% of patients regardless of the pathology found. There was a sharp rise in the prevalence of H. pylori with age, up to the age of 40 years with an annual increase in the prevalence of 2%. This study shows that the prevalence of H. pylori in Jordan is similar to that seen in other developing countries with infections occurring at a lower age and with the annual infection rate being double that seen in developed countries.
对约旦北部有上消化道症状的患者中幽门螺杆菌的流行情况进行了前瞻性研究。对169例因上消化道症状接受内镜检查的患者，从组织学和细菌学方面记录幽门螺杆菌的感染情况。我们的结果显示，急性胃炎患者中70%存在幽门螺杆菌，慢性胃炎患者中73%存在，慢性活动性胃炎患者中68%存在，十二指肠溃疡患者中83%存在，胃溃疡患者中75%存在，无病理改变的患者中64%存在，无论发现何种病理改变的患者中68%存在。幽门螺杆菌的流行率随年龄急剧上升，在40岁之前，流行率每年增加2%。这项研究表明，约旦幽门螺杆菌的流行情况与其他发展中国家相似，感染发生的年龄较低，年感染率是发达国家的两倍。
