Association of Neutrophil to Lymphocyte Ratio With Presence and Severity of Gastritis Due to<i>Helicobacter pylori</i>Infection

Abstract

The present study indicated, for the first time, a significant correlation between HP infection and inflammation on the basis of NLR, a simple and reliable indicator of inflammation. Furthermore, there is an increase in NLR as the severity of gastritis with HP increases. This elevated ratio gets normalized with treatment.
