“…This phenomenon of chronic active gastritis with no detectable H. pylori seems to be increasingly common in the Western world, and some possible explanations for this phenomenon include antibiotic therapy for the treatment of other infections, the widespread use of PPIs, and inadequate sampling or suboptimal staining techniques as suggested previously [23][24][25] . However, we used multiple diagnostic tests in the present study to avoid false H. pylori-negative results because no single test is considered the gold standard for the diagnosis of H. pylori infection.…”

“…Although H. pylori negative chronic active gastritis, which is a subtype of gastritis, is encountered very rarely in a healthy population, it was observed much commonly in UC (30%) and CD patients (70%) [ 26 ]. Therefore, some investigators suggested that the presence of the H. pylori negative chronic active gastritis must be included in the definitive diagnosis of IBD [ 27 28 29 ].…”

“…We hypothesised that if the majority of cases of Helicobacter ‐negative gastritis were ‘missed’ Helicobacter infections, their prevalence should represent a relatively constant percentage of the H. pylori infections in a population. If, as in a pilot study presented only in abstract form, 82% of all cases of chronic active gastritis show bacteria and 18% do not, this ratio should remain relatively constant across different populations, irrespective of their prevalence of H. pylori , provided that the diagnoses are made by a group of observers who use similar criteria and identical detection methods. This study was designed to test this hypothesis using data generated by a single group of pathologists who examined and diagnosed gastric biopsy specimens from almost one million patients during the past 6 years.…”
