However, subsequent reports have confirmed this association [2], but little has been written about the potential causal relation of H. pylori infection to hyperplastic gastric polyps [3]. We report the disappearance of active gastritis and multiple recurrences of hyperplastic gastric polyps after elimination of H. pylori during a 7-year study.Case ReportA 56-year-old man had iron deficiency anemia after routine blood testing in November 1984.
