H.Pylori was determined according to culture or urease test. T-test, Chi2, corelation coefficient were used for analysis. 68.3% of patients had H.Pylori. percent of patients with H.Pylori in subgroups of patients with NUD were significantly different(P = 0.00001) but mean of age was the same. Correlation between type of dyspepsia and H.Pylori was nonsignificant. According to this study H.Pylori or age are not efficient for a specific type of NUD. Eradiction of H.Pylori were alwayes unable for reducing of symptoms of patients in long term.
