Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates the endoscopic features of non-Helicobacter pylori Helicobacter (NHPH) gastritis compared to mild atrophic H. pylori gastritis to enhance diagnostic accuracy.
  • Among 2087 patients, only nine were identified with NHPH gastritis, all infected with H. suis, while 134 had mild atrophic H. pylori infection.
  • The findings indicated that while some endoscopic features were similar between the two groups, NHPH gastritis showed a significantly lower frequency of diffuse redness and a higher occurrence of white marbled appearance or crack-like mucosa without diffuse redness, which can aid in its diagnosis.

Background: Mucosal patterns (MPs) observed on blue laser imaging in patients with atrophic gastritis can be classified as spotty, cracked, and mottled. Furthermore, we hypothesized that the spotty pattern may change to the cracked pattern after () eradication.

Aim: To further substantiate and comprehensively investigate MP changes after eradication in a larger number of patients.

Background: We have previously reported that eradication therapy was more effective against Helicobacter pylori (Hp)-negative gastric mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma in non-Helicobacter pylori Helicobacter (NHPH)-positive cases than in NHPH-negative cases and that the infection status of NHPH could be a predictive marker for the efficacy of eradication therapy for H. pylori negative gastric MALT lymphoma. However, a diagnostic test for NHPH infection has not yet been clinically established.

 There is growing interest in the endoscopic recognition of infection, and application to routine practice. We present a systematic review of the current literature regarding diagnosis of during standard (non-magnified) endoscopy, including adjuncts such as image enhancement and computer-aided diagnosis.  The Medline and Cochrane databases were searched for studies investigating performance of non-magnified optical diagnosis for , or those which characterized mucosal features associated with infection.
