Abstract

ABSTRACT Fifty-seven Sinhalese patients were investigated for the presence of Helicobacter pylori by PCR. A prevalence of 70.1%, with 47.5% positive for cagA , was demonstrated. The most common vacA allele was s1am1. There was no significant association between either the s1 allele or the cagA allele and severe gastroduodenal disease. There was an association between the s1 allele and the cagA locus.
