[The frequency of detecting Campylobacter pylori in biopsies of the gastric mucosa].

Campylobacter pylori were detected in 70% of patients with diseases of the digestive tract. It was found endoscopically that presence of Campylobacter pylori is always accompanied by changes of gastric mucosa, mainly in the antral region. There were no specific symptoms characteristic of Campylobacter pylori gastritis. There was a close correlation between the presence of Campylobacter pylori and activity of the inflammatory process (active gastritis in 73.6% of patients).
