| Popis: | Helicobacter pylori infection with active gastritis is comparably common in nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) users and controls. The prevalence of active acute gastritis and its severity relate to H. pylori infection and not to use or non-use of NSAIDs. In individual patients active gastritis may deteriorate during long-term NSAID therapy but is rare in aspirin users. Among NSAID users those with H. pylori gastritis appear to have more dyspeptic symptoms, repeated intolerance to different NSAIDs, and often a history of ulcer disease. For current ulcers, NSAID use, chemical gastritis, and active gastritis due to H. pylori are independent risk factors. For gastric ulcers the risks are additive. For duodenal ulcer only H. pylori is a clearly defined risk factor: duodenal ulcers may not occur in H. pylori-negative NSAID users. In gastroduodenal mucosa NSAIDs may augment acute inflammation caused by H. pylori, and inflammation may exacerbate the biochemical injury to these tissues caused by NSAIDs. |
