There is a poor correlation between clinical and endoscopic diagnoses of PUD. H. pylori was found to be significantly associated with PUD and abnormal endoscopic findings. Endoscopic facilities should therefore be made available and accessible for proper PUD diagnosis. Empirical treatment of H. pylori in patients with diagnosed PUD is strongly recommended.
