Description:Helicobacter pylori infection is common among Alaska native (AN) people, however scant gastric histopathologic data is available for this population This study aimed to characterize gastric histopathology and H pylori infection among AN people We enrolled AN adults undergoing upper endoscopy Gastric biopsy samples were evaluated for pathologic changes, the presence of H pylori, and the presence of cag pathogenicity island-positive bacteria Of 432 persons; two persons were diagnosed with gastric adenocarcinoma, two with MALT lymphoma, 40 (10%) with ulcers, and 51 (12%) with intestinal metaplasia Fifty-five per cent of H pylori-positive persons had cag pathogenicity island positive bacteria The gastric antrum had the highest prevalence of acute and chronic moderate-severe gastritis H pylori-positive persons were 16 and four times more likely to have moderate-severe acute gastritis and chronic gastritis (p < 001), respectively An intact cag pathogenicity island positive was correlated with moderate-severe acute antral gastritis (53% vs 31%, p = 00003) H pylori-positive persons were more likely to have moderate-severe acute and chronic gastritis compared to H pylori-negative persons Gastritis and intestinal metaplasia were most frequently found in the gastric antrum Intact cag pathogenicity island positive was correlated with acute antral gastritis and intestinal metaplasia
