SUMMARY
Campylobacter pylor i recently called Helicobacter pylori is a gram negative motile bacillus with unipolar flagellae usually present close to gastric epithelial cells in the stomach and duodenum where it is protected from hostile environment by overlying mucus (Axon,1988).
This work was done to study the relation between Helicobacter pylori and esophagitis either accompanied or not with reflux.
This study comprises twenty patients suffering from esophagitis on clinical endoscopical and histopathological basis, 16 patients with reflux esophagitis and 4 with lower end esophagitis.
These patients were subjected to upper endoscopy and biopsies were taken from the lesion and above the lesion for culture of Helicobacter pylori.
Helicobacter pylori could be isolated from 3 out of 16 patients with reflux esophagitis, 2 patients from 16 were Barret-
