Table 4.
Intensity | Hp−a (n = 51) | CagA−/VacA−b (n = 15) | CagA+ or VacA+ (n = 33) |
---|---|---|---|
+ | 9 | 2 | 15 |
++ | 27 | 4 | 16 |
+++ | 15 | 9 | 2 |
a P < 0.01 compared between Hp− group and patients with at least one virulence factor, CagA+ or VacA+
b P < 0.05 compared between patients without virulence factors (CagA−/VacA−) and with at least one virulence factor, CagA+ or VacA+
