[A method of determining Campylobacter pylori in the gastric mucosa in peptic ulcer and chronic gastritis].

An original method is described for the detection of Campylobacter pylori in gastric mucosa biopsy specimens in chronic gastritis and gastroduodenal ulcers. The method is based on the detection (by a special test) of extremely high urease activity of C. pylori. The method has been employed in examinations of 211 patients. The results and prospects for the use of this technique for the detection of C. pylori in patients with gastroduodenal diseases are discussed.
