Abstract:Gastric biopsy specimens from 105 consecutive adults with persistent dyspepsia who did not have changes due to esophageal reflux disease changes or gastric or duodenal ulcers at endoscopy were scored using the updated Sydney gastritis classification system. The medication history of proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) or Helicobacter pylori eradication therapy during the month before endoscopy was retrieved. Of the patients, 72 (68.6%) had chronic inactive gastritis, and 7 (6.7%) had antral-predominant, chronic mild active gastritis. H pylori infection was present in 36 patients (34.3%), of whom 29 had chronic inactive gastritis. Forty-six patients (43.8%) had a positive medication history, including 40 (56%) of 72 with chronic inactive gastritis. The most common morphologic feature associated with H pylori infection was moderate chronic inactive gastritis, which was found most often in patients who had received recent PPIs or H pylori eradication therapy. Pathologists should be aware of the extensive use of these medications, their association with chronic inactive gastritis, and rare H pylori thatfrequently are coccoid shaped. Modified Giemsa stain may not be the optimal method to detect H pylori in this group of patients.
