Özet

Introduction: Helicobacter pylori is a gram-negative bacillus seen worldwide, affecting around half of the world's population. It is reported that the adenotonsillar region is a colonisation area and plays a role in contamination. Based on this finding, there are some studies suggesting that history of previous adenotonsillectomy may be a protective factor for the colonization of H. pylori in the stomach. In this study, it was aimed to investigate whether the history of previous adenotonsillectomy was a protective factor for H. pylori gastritis.
