Abstract
Introduction. The prevalence of Helicobacter pylori infection is decreasing in Western well economically developed countries, but remains comparably high in developing regions. There are very limited data about the prevalence of Helicobacter pylori in Eastern and Central European regions. Aim.

Methods. The middle-aged patients from 40 to 50 years old persons who visited their GP were invited to participate in the study. Exclusion criteria were: former Helicobacter pylori eradication treatment, patients on dialysis, use of immunosuppressive medications patients.

The intensity of different upper dyspeptic symptoms (epigastric pain or discomfort, heartburn, regurgition, hunger-like-pain, nausea, epigastric fullness, belching) was assessed during last week rating symptoms in 7 grade Likert scale.
