Abstract
Objective: To investigate a possible contribution of Helicobacter pylori (H. Pylori) in the etiopathogenesis of simple nasal polyps. Study Design: Prospective clinical trial. Methods: Twenty five patients with simple nasal polyps underwent nasal polypectomy were studied. Helicobacter pylori DNA was investigated for specimens removed from those patients by using polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Results: Helicobacter pylori DNA was detected in 2 (8%) of total 25 specimens. Conclusion: We could not find strong indicator that H. pylori played a role at the tissue level in the pathogenesis of nasal polyp. Keywords: Nasal polyp - Helicobacter pylori Polymerase chain reaction.Sudan Journal of Medical Sciences Vol. 3 (2) 2008: pp. 95-98
