Level of specific antibodies to Helicobacter pylorus (Hp) by enzyme immunoassay was determined, performed breathing Helika-test; Hp was determined by cytological method. Performed acidogastrometry. In 8 patients revealed erosive antral gastritis, 99--chronic gastritis, 12 patients have no stomach or duodenal ulcers. All patients with erosive gastritis were infected with Hp. antibodies to Hp were detected in all patients with chronic gastritis, and Helika-test and cytology for Hp were negative in 18.2% of patients in this group.
