Aim of this study was to evaluate whether tonsils might be a potential reservoir for Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection. A total of 72 consecutive dyspeptic patients undergoing endoscopy for the first time were studied. For each patient, a bilateral tonsillar swab was performed, before endoscopy, for microbiological culture and immunochemical analysis. Antral biopsies were also collected at endoscopy for microbiological culture, rapid urease test, and histological examination. Helicobacter pylori infection was detected in 42 of 72 (58.3%) patients. All tonsillar specimens were negative for H. pylori on both microbiological culture and immunochemical analysis, suggesting that the tonsils are not an extragastric reservoir for H. pylori infection.
