The most common cause of chronic gastritis is infection with <jats:italic>Helicobacter pylori<\/jats:italic>. Identifying the relationship between intensities of colonization and activity of gastritis helps the clinician in more effective treatment and posttreatment follow-ups. <jats:italic>Methods<\/jats:italic>. In this cross-sectional study, endoscopic gastric biopsy samples of 544 patients who complained symptoms of dyspepsia for more than three months referring to the laboratory were studied. To determine the colonization rate of <jats:italic>H. pylori<\/jats:italic> and other pathological findings, Giemsa and H&amp;E stains were, respectively, used. <jats:italic>Results<\/jats:italic>. Among 544 subjects, 47 (8.64%) patients had no gastritis, 203 (37.32%) had mild gastritis, 278 (10.51%) suffered moderate gastritis, and 16 (2.94%) had severe gastritis. In this study, patients with mild <jats:italic>H. pylori<\/jats:italic> colonization rates had the highest level of mild activity (33.52%); in contrast, those with severe <jats:italic>H. pylori<\/jats:italic> colonization had the highest level of severe activity (43.75%). 93.96% of people with severe <jats:italic>H. pylori<\/jats:italic> colonization suffered from moderate and severe chronic gastritis. There is a significant statistical relationship between the intensity of <jats:italic>H. pylori<\/jats:italic> colonization and histopathological findings including intestinal metaplasia, atrophy, and lymphoid follicle formation. <jats:italic>Conclusions<\/jats:italic>. According to the present study, with increasing intensity of <jats:italic>H. pylori<\/jats:italic> colonization, chronicity and activity of gastritis and its complications increase.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/2017\/8320496","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,11,28]],"date-time":"2017-11-28T18:35:12Z","timestamp":1511894112000},"page":"1-5","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":20,"title":["Correlation between the Intensity of <i>Helicobacter pylori<\/i> Colonization and Severity of Gastritis"],"prefix":"10.1155","volume":"2017","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4827-345X","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Hamid Reza","family":"Ghasemi Basir","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pathology, School of Medicine, Hamadan University of Medical Sciences, Hamadan, Iran"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1523-3929","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Mehdi","family":"Ghobakhlou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Clinical Research Development Unit of Shahid Beheshti Hospital, Hamadan University of Medical Sciences, Hamadan, Iran"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Parvin","family":"Akbari","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Medicine, Hamadan University of Medical Sciences, Hamadan, Iran"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Arash","family":"Dehghan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pathology, School of Medicine, Hamadan University of Medical Sciences, Hamadan, Iran"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mohamad Ali","family":"Seif Rabiei","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Community Medicine, School of Medicine, Hamadan University of Medical Sciences, Hamadan, Iran"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","reference":[{"issue":"1","key":"1","first-page":"52","volume":"15","year":"2008","journal-title":"Journal of Birjand University of Medical Sciences"},{"key":"2","year":"2012"},{"issue":"4","key":"3","first-page":"282","volume":"11","year":"2006","journal-title":"Journal of Research in Medical Sciences"},{"key":"4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00000478-199610000-00001"},{"key":"5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/jcp.49.2.107"},{"key":"6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1155\/2001\/367832"},{"key":"7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3748\/wjg.v12.i34.5479"},{"issue":"10","key":"8","first-page":"1433","volume":"25","year":"2004","journal-title":"Saudi Medical Journal"},{"issue":"2","key":"9","first-page":"98","volume":"13","year":"2002","journal-title":"The Turkish Journal of Gastroenterology"},{"issue":"11","key":"10","first-page":"773","volume":"20","year":"2010","journal-title":"Journal of the College of Physicians and Surgeons"},{"key":"11","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3904\/kjim.1995.10.2.125"},{"issue":"3","key":"12","first-page":"325","volume":"44","year":"2001","journal-title":"Indian Journal of Pathology & Microbiology"},{"key":"13","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1086\/315384"},{"issue":"12","key":"14","first-page":"2196","volume":"89","year":"1994","journal-title":"American Journal of Gastroenterology"},{"issue":"30","key":"15","first-page":"379","volume":"9","year":"2002","journal-title":"Razi Journal of Medical Sciences"},{"key":"16","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3748\/wjg.v11.i7.976"},{"issue":"6c","key":"17","first-page":"3042","volume":"2","year":"2014","journal-title":"Scholars Journal of Applied Medical Sciences"},{"key":"18","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/s0140-6736(95)91084-0"}],"container-title":["Gastroenterology Research and Practice"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"http:\/\/downloads.hindawi.com\/journals\/grp\/2017\/8320496.pdf","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"http:\/\/downloads.hindawi.com\/journals\/grp\/2017\/8320496.xml","content-type":"application\/xml","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"http:\/\/downloads.hindawi.com\/journals\/grp\/2017\/8320496.pdf","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2017,11,28]],"date-time":"2017-11-28T18:35:16Z","timestamp":1511894116000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/www.hindawi.com\/journals\/grp\/2017\/8320496\/"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2017]]},"references-count":18,"alternative-id":["8320496","8320496"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1155\/2017\/8320496","relation":{},"ISSN":["1687-6121","1687-630X"],"issn-type":[{"value":"1687-6121","type":"print"},{"value":"1687-630X","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2017]]}}}
