  2. INTRODUCTION Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is a Gram negative bacteria. Researchers believe that H. pylori is responsible for the majority of gastritis and peptic ulcers. H. pylori infection is common in the United States. About 20 percent of people under 40 years old and half of those over 60 years have itH. pylori weakens the protective mucous coating of the stomach and duodenum, which allows acid to get through to the sensitive lining beneath. Both the acid and the bacteria irritate the lining and cause a sore, or ulcer. H. pylori is able to survive in stomach acid because it secretes enzymes that neutralize the acid. This mechanism allows H. pylori to make its way to the "safe" area—the protective mucous lining. Once there, the bacterium's spiral shape helps it burrow through the lining.

  5. CAUSES AND DIAGNOSTIC TECHNIQUES Enervating habits, the use of stimulants, excesses in eating and pleasurable enjoyments, using irritating substances like salt, pepper, vinegar, spices, and hot sauces, alcohol, tobacco, etc., lack of emotional poise, overwork or any natural or unnatural expenditure of nerve energy beyond the power of recuperation. Chronic gastritis is the culmination of a number of recurrences of acute gastritis with a continuous abuse of the stomach between crises. (2) Gastritis can be caused by infection, irritation, autoimmune disorders (disorders caused by the body's immune response against its own tissues), or backflow of bile into the stomach (bile reflux). Gastritis can also be caused by a blood disorder called pernicious anemia. . (1) There are several tests that may be done to make a diagnosis. These include endoscopy of the stomach, where a thin tube that has a light and a camera on the end is inserted down your throat to your stomach. This allows the doctor to see into your stomach and, if necessary, take samples (called a biopsy) from the lining. The laboratory tests you may need will depend on the specific cause of your gastritis. A stool test may be used to check for the presence of blood, or a biopsy may be taken of the tissues of your esophagus or stomach to determine the cause of your discomfort. A breath test may detect H. pylori, or samples from your esophagus or stomach may be taken to look for this organism. (5,6)

  6. The present study aimed to study the occurrence of H.pylori and determine the most important clinical features of gastritis B in patients of Al-Basrah governorate .

  7. MATERIALS & METHODSPatients: A total of 58 patients attending to the surgery unit of Al-sadder teaching hospital in Al-Basrah governorate with a different types of gastric complaints were enrolled in the present study . Patients in various age ranged from 18 to 65 years old ( 30 males and 28 females ). A total of 120 family’s patients also introduce in this study to investigate the clinical relationship between patients and family persons .The period of cross section study was carried out from January 2009 to July 2010Diagnosis of H.pylori gastritis: Blood samples were collected from patients with gastritis B after endoscopy (confirmation of patients infected with gastritis B) . the blood specimens were allowed to clot and the sera separated. These sera were immediately examined by H.pylori Eliza kit for the diagnosis of gastritis caused by H.pylori. Gastric aspirations were taken from patients and examined by Urease test and cultured on Columbia agar ( Oxoid).Controlling healthy group: A total of 20 healthy persons ( 10 for each males and females) were introduced in this study as a control group to compare with the results of gastritis B and gastritis. They have no previous history of any complains of gastrointestinal tract (GIT) diseases and clinically no signs, and gave no smoking or no alcohol history and not receiving any medications.Questionnaire evaluation assay:All the participants were asked special questionnaire regarding the age , sex, occupation , residence , socioeconomic status , smoking , family history , alcohol history , the duration of disease and symptoms , the treatment or any antimicrobial therapies have been received during the previous months , any previous and / or present history of any complains of gastritis and other clinical signs
