Localization of Helicobacter pylori gastritis and the relation of existing histopathological features with reflux esophagitis.

Conclusion: This study showed that the presence of Hp infection in the corpus and corpus gastritis score was significantly lower in patients with erosive reflux esophagitis than in the control group. It also showed that Hp colonization and corpus gastritis scores were negatively correlated with esophagitis development. This inverse relationship was independent of atrophy.
