All patients who presented with epigastric pain and dyspeptic symptoms will undergo endoscopic gastric biopsies.
The patients will be subjected to: Full history taking, clinical examination, liver function tests, renal function tests, CBC, INR, abdominal ultrasonography.
About 200 patients diagnosed to have H. pylori by infection by microscopically examined, endoscopic gastric biopsies will be enrolled in our study.
All available formalin fixed and paraffin embedded tissue blocks of gastric endoscopic biopsies will be resectioned and stained with Haematoxylin and Eosin. Modified Giemsa stain, and Alcian blue/ PAS stain will be used for verification of Helicobacter pylori and demonstration of intestinal metaplasia respectively.
Biopsies will be classified using the Updated Sydney system of classification of gastritis
The patients will be randomized (closed envelopes) into one of two groups:
H. Pylori eradication will be confirmed by H. Pylori stool antigen testing at least 4 weeks after cessation of antibiotic therapy with stoppage of PPI therapy at least one to two weeks.
