One hundred and ninety-six symptomatic Saudi patients with dyspepsia underwent gastroscopy, and multiple biopsies were taken from the antrum of the stomach for identification of Helicobacter pylori. Three methods were studied for diagnosis of Helicobacter pylori, including urease test, culture and histopathology. The commonest gastroscopic findings were gastritis in 82 patients (41.84%) and duodenal ulcer in 40 patients (20.41%). Among the 196 patients, Helicobacter pylori was identified by histopathology in 145 patients (73.98%), the urease test was positive in 126 patients (64.29%), and a positive culture was obtained in 102 patients (52.04%). These results show that there is a high incidence of Helicobacter infection among Saudi patients with peptic ulcer disease or non-ulcer dyspepsia. Helicobacter pylori identification was more successful by histopathology than by the urease test or culture.
196名有消化不良症状的沙特患者接受了胃镜检查，并从胃窦取了多处活检组织以鉴定幽门螺杆菌。研究了三种诊断幽门螺杆菌的方法，包括尿素酶试验、培养和组织病理学检查。最常见的胃镜检查结果是82例（41.84%）胃炎和40例（20.41%）十二指肠溃疡。在这196例患者中，通过组织病理学检查鉴定出145例（73.98%）幽门螺杆菌，尿素酶试验阳性126例（64.29%），培养阳性102例（52.04%）。这些结果表明，沙特消化性溃疡病或非溃疡性消化不良患者中幽门螺杆菌感染率很高。通过组织病理学检查鉴定幽门螺杆菌比通过尿素酶试验或培养更成功。
