ABSTRACT
Helicobacter pylori is associated with 70-100% of peptic ulcers. Relapse of infection has been shown to cause recurrences of ulcers in a large number of studies. We diagnosed 137 cases of peptic ulcer (121 DU; 16 GU) during a 3 year period. Of these, 117 were positive for H pylori. Sixty six of the 117 cases staying in the vicinity of the Hospital were followed up for a minimum period of 3 months upto a maximum period of 3 years. In 91 examinations there was relapse of H pylori infection and ulcer recurrence was seen in 58 (63%), whereas ulcer recurred only in 6 out of 61 examinations where H pylori had not relapsed (10%). The difference was highly significant by Chi square test. (P less than 0.001).
