Sažetak
Background The purpose of this study was to investigate the pathohistological status of mucous lining infected with Helicobacte pylori as the possible cause of chronic laryngitis and laryngeal carcinoma. Materials and methods The prospective examination included 51 patients suffering from planocellular laryngeal cancer and 26 examinees suffering from chronic laryngitis. The examinees and the control group were subjected to esophagogastroduodenoscopy which described the local status of the esophagus and stomach. Two biopsy samplings are taken from the stomach antrum and corpus. One part of the biopsies was colored using the histological technique used in the pathohistological detection of H. pylori, while the other part was incorporated in paraffin cubes where the H. Pylori gene expression was determined using the deparaffinization and PCR method DNA isolation. Results In the group of examinees suffering from laryngeal tumor, there were a higher number of patients suffering also from chronic gastritis (32/51) than in the other group, suffering from chronic laryngitis (9/26). In the chronic laryngitis group, there were more examinees with acute gastritis (12/26) than in the examined group (11/51). The difference is statistically significant (p = 0.0457). Conclusion Chronic gastritis and H. pylori infection are risk factors for laryngeal carcinoma formation ; therefore, acute gastritis with helicobacter pylori infection must be immediately treated to not let infection to become chronic.
