Intestinal metaplasia of the GOJ was typed by histochemistry with high iron diamine-alcian blue staining and by immunohistochemistry using CK7 and CK20 antibodies.

The Barrett's type CK7\/CK20 pattern was related to a high frequency of gastro-oesophageal reflux symptoms (p&lt;0.02) and normal endoscopic appearance of the stomach (p&lt;0.03). In contrast, the gastric type CK7\/CK20 pattern was linked to atrophic (p&lt;0.02) or erythematous (p&lt;0.05) appearance of the stomach (p&lt;0.03), high frequency of\n                      <jats:italic>H pylori<\/jats:italic>\n                      infection (p&lt;0.04), antral inflammation (p&lt;0.006) with atrophy (p&lt;0.02), and intestinal metaplasia (p&lt;0.02).\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>CONCLUSION<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      In patients presenting with intestinal metaplasia in normal appearing GOJ, the cytokeratin pattern identifies two groups of patients, one with features identical to those of long segment Barrett's oesophagus and one with features seen in\n                      <jats:italic>H pylori<\/jats:italic>\n                      gastritis.
