Abstract
Objective: To investigate frequency of gastritis caused by H. pylori associated with the consumption of fried foodstuffs in Sukkur district.
Methodology: This cross-sectional study employed a pre-tested questionnaire for participant interrogation. IgG enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was used for blood sample analysis. Stool antigen (HpSAg) test ICT kit was used for stool sampling analysis. Biopsy samples were subjected to histological examination with methylene blue stain. Statistical analysis was done using SPSS 17.
Results: There was a significant association between the consumption of spicy foods and the incidence of gastritis, with a p˂0.0001. Gastritis showed a notable correlation with the intake of fried foodstuffs. Among individuals consuming spicy food (n=150), 129 (86%) tested positive for H. pylori, the causative agent of gastritis, through blood serology tests. Of those tested with stool antigen tests (n=100), 80% were positive. Endoscopic Biopsy results of 80 individuals showed that in 68 (85%), culture reports of biopsy samples were positive for gastritis.
Conclusion: There was a substantial association between the incidence of gastritis caused by H. pylori and consumption of fried foodstuffs (p<0.0001) in Sukkur district, Sindh, Pakistan.
