Background and Objectives: Fifty percent of people worldwide suffer from this bacterial infection of the stomach antrum. Hyperpepsia, peptic ulcers, gastric adenocarcinoma, gastric MALT-associated lymphomas, and both acute and chronic gastritis have all been tied to Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection.

Material and Methods: This research study was carried out at the Department of General Medicine, Maharajah’s Institute of Medical Sciences, Nellimarla, Vizianagaram, Andhra Pradesh, India, between Study periods February 2015 to January 2016. A total of fifty cases with GERD and acid reflux disease symptoms were examined.

Results: Fifty patients who visited a private and medical gastrointestinal clinic with symptoms of acid peptic disease were included in the current investigation. Fifty cases were selected for the endoscopic examination, and biopsies were taken from each as needed for the research.

Conclusion: We conclude that when evaluating patients exhibiting symptoms of acid reflux disease, a comprehensive clinical examination and history are necessary, in addition to endoscopic evaluation and methods to identify the presence of the H. pylori bacteria. The sensitivity of the organism's detection is increased by using a variety of distinct stains.
