Antral Intestinal Metaplasia in <i>Helicobacter pylor</i><i>i</i> Gastritis

Abstract: The prevalence of antral intestinal metaplasia (IM) in underlying Helicobacter pylori (HP) gastritis was studied in biopsy specimens of the antral mucosa obtained from 2,692 patients with histologically proven HP gastritis. The prevalence of IM varied in the groups investigated: 47.4% in gastric ulcers, 30.5% in pyloric ulcers, 16.8% in duodenal ulcers, 21.8% in gastritis with no lesions and 9.8% in chronic antral erosions (p < 0.001). A hypothetical model for the role of HP in the development of IM is present… Show more

“…This IM incidence is significantly higher than that in German patients, in whom we found only 28% in H. pylori-infected subjects, and only 5% in uninfected subjects (Bayerdorffer et al, 1992). Similar observations have been made by other investigators (Eidt and Stolte, 1994;Kuipers et al, 1995). However, as IM was more common in H. pylori-infected carcinoma patients than in infected non-carcinoma patients, and also more common in H. pylori-negative carcinoma patients than in uninfected non-carcinoma patients, it is very possible that IM may be a marker for an increased gastric carcinoma risk in H. pyloriinfected as well as uninfected subjects.…”

“…27 Also, the frequency of intestinal metaplasia in duodenal ulcer patients before therapy with either ranitidine or aluminium±magnesium hydroxide was lower than our own previous data had shown. 28,29 Therefore, we cannot de®nitely exclude bias due to sampling error explaining the unexpected low number of patients with intestinal metaplasia before treatment.…”

“…These results suggest that IM in GCA and GC should be considered as a separate entity. In stomach, IM frequently forms at the antrum (22.9%) but rarely at the fundus (2.8%) [13] . Likewise, most GCs arise from the distal part of the stomach and infrequently from the near part.…”
