Abstract

Application of nested PCR for Helicobacter species to 416 samples obtained at colonoscopy from 15 patients with Crohn's disease, 12 with ulcerative colitis, and 43 controls revealed H. pylori DNA in only 6 individuals with no disease association. No other Helicobacter species were detected in ileal or colonic samples.
