The frequency of gastrointestinal parasitosis and the effect of proton pump inhibitor use on gastrointestinal parasitosis and histopathological findings in patients with dyspepsia

Abstract

Aim: The main purpose of this study was to investigate the frequency of gastrointestinal parasites in patients with upper gastrointestinal system (GIS) complaints. The secondary aim was to evaluate the effect of proton pump inhibitors (PPI) on gastrointestinal parasite frequency and histopathological findings. Materials and Methods: Adult patients who underwent endoscopy for upper GIS symptoms were included in the study. Biopsy specimen for histopathological evaluation, gastric and duodenal aspiration fluid, and stool specimen for parasitological evaluation were also obtained from the patients. Results: A total of 40 patients (29 female and 11 male) were included in the study. The mean age of women was 54 ± 14.6 and men was 38.4 ± 18.7 years (p = 0.008). The patients were divided into two groups as not using PPI [14 patients (35%)] and using PPI [26 patients (65%)]. Parasites were detected in 3 patients (7.5%). Two of them were from the group using PPI, and one from the group not using PPI (p = 0.95). It was also observed that the effect of PPI on histopathological findings was not statistically significant. Helicobacter pylori positivity was associated with inflammation (p = 0.002) and intestinal metaplasia (p < 0.001). Conclusion: It was determined that dyspeptic complaints were more common in women. The effect of PPI on histopathological findings or the frequency of parasites were not statistically significant. Inflammation and intestinal metaplasia were found to be statistically higher in Helicobacter pylori positive cases than negatives.
