infection has been known to be associated with dyspepsia for more than two decades; however, studies on this topic in India are limited. This study was carried out to estimate the infection rates in non-ulcer dyspepsia.
infection rates detected by rapid urease test (RUT) positivity were analyzed in 235 patients presenting to a tertiary care center with dyspepsia having no evidence of peptic ulcer disease on esophagogastroduodenoscopy.
In this study, the prevalence of infection diagnosed by the RUT was found to be 40.85%. Gender-based prevalence was found to be 40.14% and 41.93% for men and women, respectively. The highest prevalence was found in the age group of 30-39 years. The most common area of involvement was the isolated antrum of the stomach as seen in 93 patients.
This study shows a modest RUT positivity rate for infection with the commonest site of involvement being the antrum of the stomach. Further studies will be needed to assess the prevalence of in the community to analyze the extent of infection.
二十多年来,已知感染与消化不良有关;然而,印度关于该主题的研究有限。本研究旨在估计非溃疡性消化不良中的感染率。
对235名因消化不良就诊于三级护理中心且经食管胃十二指肠镜检查无消化性溃疡病证据的患者,分析快速尿素酶试验(RUT)阳性检测出的感染率。
在本研究中,经RUT诊断的感染患病率为40.85%。按性别划分,男性患病率为40.14%,女性患病率为41.93%。患病率最高的年龄组为30 - 39岁。最常见的受累部位是孤立的胃窦,有93名患者出现这种情况。
本研究显示感染的RUT阳性率适中,最常见的受累部位是胃窦。需要进一步研究以评估社区中的感染患病率,从而分析感染程度。
