We present here a rare case of hyperammonemia without liver dysfunction or portal-systemic shunting. The patient was an 80-year-old woman with a history of neurogenic bladder. She was admitted to a nearby hospital for vomiting, diarrhea and consciousness disturbance. Two days after admission, she

BACKGROUND Active gastritis, atrophic gastritis (AG) and intestinal metaplasia are lesions associated with Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection in adults. OBJECTIVE To assess the prevalence of chronic gastritis, its histological characteristics and clinical features in children. METHODS 345

OBJECTIVE To re-examine the efficacy and tolerability of 1-week proton pump inhibitor triple therapy as a first-line Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) eradication therapy. METHODS Consecutive participants with a positive rapid urease test during an outpatient upper endoscopy were included. All

BACKGROUND Hyperplastic polyps are the most common polypoid lesions of the stomach. Rarely, they cause gastric outlet obstruction by prolapsing through the pyloric channel, when they arise in the prepyloric antrum. METHODS A 62-year-old woman presented with intermittent nausea and vomiting of 4

OBJECTIVE To investigate the clinical manifestations and endoscopic features of abdominal type Henoch purpura in children and improve the diagnostic level. METHODS Retrospective review was made on the clinical, endoscopic and histopathological features of 57 cases of children with Henoch purpura

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the efficacy and tolerability of a new 1-week triple therapy regimen consisting of pantoprazole, amoxycillin and metronidazole. METHODS The study involved 51 Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) positive patients (M:30, F:21, mean age: 52.5 years, range: 24-75) affected with

OBJECTIVE The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the number and proportion of various causes of upper gastrointestinal bleeding and actual numbers of non-NSAID, non-Helicobacter pylori (H.pylori) peptic ulcers seen in endoscopy of these patients. BACKGROUND The number and the proportion of

BACKGROUND An inflammatory fibroid polyp is a rare condition with frequent localisation in the antrum of the stomach. Because of the localisation in the bottom parts of the mucosa and submucosa, a histological diagnosis is difficult to establish at endoscopic biopsies. So, a correct diagnosis is

BACKGROUND Cytotoxin-associated gene A (CagA) product is a bacterial virulence factor contributing to the pathogenicity of Helicobacter pylori (HP) infection in humans. Host factors, which vary in different countries, interact with bacterial factors to determine the disease state. Our objective was

OBJECTIVE Helicobacter pylori is recognized as a major etiological factor in the pathogenesis of gastritis and peptic ulcer disease. H. Pylori eradication has a failure rate of more than 30% in pediatric patients, particularly because of poor compliance, antibiotic resistance and occurrence of

BACKGROUND The role of Helicobacter pylori in chronic gastric and duodenal ulcer disease has now been proven in adults as well as in children. METHODS H pylori has been looked for during endoscopy in 130 children suffering from recurrent abdominal pain (78 patients) or other symptoms (52 patients).

OBJECTIVE Azithromycin, a new antibiotic chemically related to erythromycin, has been proposed for the cure of Helicobacter pylori, achieving high gastric tissue levels (above the MIC for H. pylori) after oral administration. The aim of the study was to establish whether azithromycin plus

BACKGROUND Eradication of helicobacter pylori is important for treatment of GU but an ideal regimen is not available. HP is resistant to metronidazole and clarithromycin. Clarithromycin is expensive and is not available in under developing countries. This study aimed to compare two regimens

The origin of functional dyspepsia (FD) is unknown, however, abnormal gastric emptying and infection by H. pylori have been suggested as possible causes. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to test the hypothesis that infection by H. pylori could be related to alterations in gastric emptying of

OBJECTIVE To study childhood Helicobacter pylori infection concerning the clinical presentations, endoscopic, histologic features and results of treatment. METHODS A retrospective study conducted at the Gastroenterology and Nutrition Unit, Queen Sirikit National Institute of Child Health (QSNICH)
