Serum Anti-Helicobacter Pylori IgG Antibody Titer in H. Pylori-negative Cases with a Different Gastric Mucosal Atrophy Status.

Conclusion The disappearance of H. pylori infection in H. pylori-negative individuals may occur later in those with a greater degree of gastric mucosal atrophy. The serum antibody titer difference between the H. pylori-negative C0 and C1 groups might have been caused by the differences in distribution between H. pylori-uninfected subjects and those in whom the infection had disappeared, thus additional investigation is needed to clarify the significance of gastric mucosal classification including the C0 grade.
