What is MAGNIFYING ENDOSCOPY OF THE GASTRIC BODY: A COMPARISON OF THE FINDINGS BEFORE and AFTER ERADICATION OF HELICOBACTER PYLORI about?

Gastric mucosal changes observed by magnifying endoscopy before and after eradication of __Helicobacter pylori__ have not been investigated, although histological changes have been reported. In a previous paper, we described the principal features of the gastric body of the __H. pylori__‐negative normal stomach observed by magnifying endoscopy. In this report, we describe the magnified features of the gastric body before and after successful eradication of __H. pylori__. On the basis of these magnified features, we tried to determine whether eradication had been successful in 54 patients by examining their magnified views. We also observed the lesser curvatures of patients over 1 year after successful eradication and evaluated the correlations between the magnified features and histological grade of atrophy. 1. The following three features of magnified views after successful eradication were observed: (i) erythema and/or swelling of the areas between the gastric pits disappeared; (ii) white pits became pinhole‐like; and (iii) collecting venules became visible. 2. Successful eradication was diagnosed in 50 patients according to their magnified features and culture and histological e
