Association between Helicobacter pylori infection and colorectal polyps.

It was aimed to investigate whether the Helicobacter pylori infection is related to the frequency, localization, size and number of colorectal polyps. The data of 4561 patients who underwent esophagogastroduodenoscopy and colonoscopy were analyzed retrospectively. Patients with and without polyps at colonoscopy were grouped and the frequency of H pylori infection was compared in these patients.
