Detection of Helicobacter Pylori Infection by High Resolution Endoscopy

Although endoscopic findings of H. pylori have been reported in the literature, there is still some debate over whether H. pylori-related gastritis can be diagnosed via endoscopic features alone. Most studies concluded that it is not possible to diagnose H. pylori-related gastritis on the basis of endoscopic findings. However, the resolution power of endoscopy has greatly improved in recent years and the exact examination of gastric mucosa was possible.
