    Abstract:
    The incidence of the Helicobacter-like organisms (HLO) was investigated on biopsy specimens of antral gastric mucosa, stained by the Wayson technique, in 509 patients with various gastric and duodenal diseases. The incidence of HLO was: 72.8 percent in gastric ulcer, 69.6 percent in duodenal ulcer, 69.2 percent in bulbitis, 61.0. percent in chronic gastritis, 37.5 percent in the postoperative stomach, 50 percent in gastric cancer, and 34.3 percent on healthy controls. The HLO were present over the whole year, with a peak in March. Sex and age had little influence on the HLO incidence. The Wayson staining technique proved to be a good technique of detection of HLO on gastric mucosa smears.
