Abstract

Infection with Helicobacter pylori is one of the most common chronic bacterial infections worldwide. So, This study  aimed to  detect Helicobacter pylori in  patients with gastroenteritis symptoms by molecular method Polymeraee chain reaction (PCR) . This study was conducted in  AL- Diwaniyah province/Iraq and included 40 patients with age  ranged  from 11 to 56 years  and they were males and females. The Physician diagnosed patients with stomach and intestinal infections. Samples were collected from the Consultant Internal Medicine and the Division of Gastroenterology at Al-Diwaniyah Teaching Hospital during the period from October 2021 to March 2022 . Tissue biopsy samples were collected from patients suffering from gastroenteritis in the Gastrointestinal Division. Three tissue biopsies were removed from the gastric antrum of each patient using forceps for endoscopy. The total number of samples was 20. Also, 20 Stool samples were collected from patients and then placed in a sterile container. Helicobacter pylori  were diagnosed according to the diagnostic gene 16SrRNA in 12 samples with a percentage of 30% .
