Only CD4 and CD19 were significantly increased in patients with increased gastric inflammation and increased density of H. pylori. However, several of the examined markers (IFN-γ, IL-8, IL-10 and CD14) showed a non-significant trend to be increased in patients with extensive gastric inflammation and high density of H. pylori. Therefore, an arbitrary index (IM11) for all the 11 immunological markers was made as an average value for each of the four morphological groups. For the four morphologically different groups of patients the values were 0.49, 0.77, 0.86 and 1.25, respectively. Significant increases in the index from none to moderate antral inflammation as well as the density of H. pylori were found (p < 0.001). By using an index of inflammatory markers trends can be summarized and thereby significant which may be of importance when gastric inflammation is investigated in children and patients with functional dyspepsia.
