What is A topographic study of Helicobacter pylori density, distribution and associated gastritis about?
## Abstract **__Background and Aims__**: The topographic distribution and density of __Helicobacter pylori__ and associated gastritis in the stomach were studied in order to determine which biopsy sites are likely to provide the maximum yield so as to reduce the fallacious results due to sampling error. **__Methods__**: Fifty patients with upper gastrointestinal symptoms were studied. Eleven gastric biopsies from predetermined sites were obtained and subjected to ultra‐rapid urease test, imprint cytology and histology. Haematoxylin and eosin stain was used for defining gastritis and other associated histopathological details. Loeffler’s methylene blue stain was used to confirm the presence of __H. pylori__ in imprint smears and histological sections. **__Results__**: All 50 patients had __H. pylori__ infection and evidence of chronic gastritis at one or more of the 11 biopsy sites. Maximum and minimum percentage positivity were observed at A3 (antral lesser curvature) and B4 (corpus greater curvature), respectively. Various sites in decreasing order of percentage positivity were A3 > A2 > A1 > A4 > B3 > B1 > A5 > B6 > B5 > B2 > B4. Among the biopsies obtained from the corpus, B3 (c
