Background Atrophic gastritis is more common in Japan than in Germany. The expression of
anti-parietal cell antibody has been implicated in the genesis of atrophic gastritis associated
with Helicobacter pylori infection. Objective We investigated the difference in serum levels of
pepsinogens and in anti-parietal cell antibody expression between Japanese and German
patients. Methods We recruited 102 Japanese and 46 German patients with dyspepsia.
Endoscopic examination detected no localized lesions in the upper gastrointestinal tract of …
