Background: Dyspepsia is a chronic or recurrent pain or discomfort centered in the upper abdomen; patients with predominant or frequent (more than once a week) heartburn or acid regurgitation, should be considered to have gastro esophageal reflux disease (GERD) until proven otherwise.(1) Helicobacter pylori, a curved rod shaped bacterium, has been consistently associated with patients having acid peptic diseases, which plays a major role in its etiopathogenesis.2
