Abstract
Purpose: We aimed to investigate the effect of Helicobacter Pylorii (HP) on the development of gallbladder diseases and cholelithiasis and its relationship with gastritis.
 Methods: 282 gastritis cases with follow-up and operated gallbladder material were included in the study. All histomorphological findings, presence of HP and other variables were compared. Active inflammation and presence of HP were examined in the gastritis group. The gallbladder (GB) disease group was evaluated in terms of cholelithiasis, inflammation, cholesterolosis, intestinal and pyloric metaplasia, and the presence of HP.
 Results: Gallbladder HP (+) was higher in female patients than in male patients. The presence of HP in the GB was significantly higher in patients with cholelithiasis than patients without cholelithiasis. The incidence of HP in the GB was higher in patients with active gastritis than in patients with inactive gastritis. The presence of HP in the GB was found to be higher in patients with HP on gastric biopsy. HP was found to be less in cases without cholesterolosis in the GB (p
