Sore throat is the most common complaint in ENT OPD with most of the patients suffering from pharyngitis. Chronic nonspecific pharyngitis is a very common presentation among these patients with majority experiencing only temporary relief with medications. Such patients commonly complain of burning in throat and retrosternal burning. In practice, this leads to recurrent visit of patient to the physician and otorhinolaryngologist with only temporary relief. Many of these patients have H. pylori colonization. Although H. pylori usually colonizes in gastric mucosa but there are some reports of extra gastric colonization including pharyngeal and laryngeal mucosa. To detect the presence of Helicobacter pylori there are a number of different investigations. These investigations include H. pylori serology, swab culture, stool culture and urease breath test. H. pylori serology is a very cost effective method for quick diagnosis of such patients. Eradication of H. pylori is essential for long lasting relief in these cases of chronic nonspecific pharyngitis. We have conducted a prospective clinical study of 173 patients with chronic nonspecific pharyngitis to show the relationship of pharyngitis with H. pylori infection. Patients were selected on the basis of inclusion criteria. The data showed a large number of patients with chronic nonspecific pharyngitis were positive for H. pylori serology and had relief with eradication therapy.
