Özet

Background/Aims: Early experimental and epidemiological studies have suggested that the presence of cagA gene was a virulence factor for Helicobacter pylori. We aimed to investigate the clinical significance of tissue CagA status in Helicobacter pylori infected patients and to assess its association with histological changes in gastric mucosa.
