The aim of this study was to estimate the prevalence of H. pylori infection in patients with digestive discomforts using urea breath test in Mashhad County, northeast of Iran .

The urea breath test was performed and the patients ingested a solution of isotope labeled urea. The expired air was collected and was analyzed using the Heliprobe breath card (Noster System, Stockholm, Sweden). Results: The results of the test were positive for 698 out of 814 (85.75%) patients including 403 (86.30%) of women and 295 (85.01%) of men. However, the difference between the two groups was not statistically significant. Positive cases were classified by age. The highest prevalence rate of H. pylori infection was observed among 50-60 years old patients. Conclusions: The infection of H. pylori is very common among patients who have gastric complain and can be easily diagnosed by noninvasive urea breath test.
