A retrospective study for the
assessment of the prevalence of
Helicobacter pylori was performed on 12
biopsies from patients with Barrett's
oesophagus, 20 cases with oesophagitis
and 8 without oesophageal lesion.
Sections were stained by both Diff-quick
and Modified Giemsa stain to detect H.
pylori. Thirty three percent of Barrett's
oesophagus showed H. pylon in relation
to gastric memplasia, 50% of them were
associated with acute inflammation, 25%
with chronic active inflammation, while
25% showed no signs of inflammation.
So, there is direct inflammatory
response to H. pylori. Also, the results
using the Diff-quick stain are correlated in
100% with those using the Gietnsa stain.
Diff-quick, is also simple, rapid,
easy and clean recommended for H.
pylon in sections. |
