ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVES:
This study aims to investigate the presence of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) using the real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method in the adenoid tissues in children undergoing surgical operation due to adenoid hypertrophy. PATIENTS ANDMETHODS:
Adenoid tissues of 23 children (8 girls, 15 boys; mean age 6.2 years; range 3 to 9 years) who were operated with the diagnosis of adenoid hypertrophy, tonsil + adenoid hypertrophy or tonsil + adenoid hypertrophy + serous otitis media in our clinic between January 2012 and April 2012 were examined.RESULTS:
Of 23 patients, H. pylori was detected in the adenoid tissues of two (8.7%). Regurgitation was present in seven patients. However, no regurgitation was found in H. pylori-positive patients.CONCLUSION:
In this study the presence of H. pylori in patients with adenoid hypertrophy has been demonstrated using PCR method. To be able to support the hypothesis that H. pylori has a place in etiology of adenoid hypertrophy, multicenter studies are warranted.
