Correlation Between Gastric and Gallbladder Helicobacter pylori Infection in South Indian Patients Undergoing Cholecystectomy for Gallbladder Disease
<i>H. pylori</i> was not detected in gallbladder tissue among South Indian patients despite a 20.4% prevalence in the gastric mucosa. These findings suggest no correlation between gastric and gallbladder <i>H. pylori</i> colonization in this cohort. Further multicentric studies are needed to evaluate regional microbiological and pathological variations.
