Abstract
The study using the urease test on mucous biopsies from the antral gastric part and from the duodenum of patients with chronic opisthorchiasis with endoscopic evidence of antral gastritis and gastroduodenitis, and from noninvaded patients with gastritis and duodenitis, some of them with the gastric or duodenal ulcers showed that the test was positive. The test was negative in both groups of patients when the mucosa of the gastric body was examined as well as in those without gastroduodenal pathology. It is supposed that in the both groups of patients gastroduodenal pathology was provoked by the colonization of the gastric and duodenal mucosa by gastric campylobacteria.
