    Helicobacter pylori is a gram negative bacterium that is able to colonize the gastric mucosa of humans and produce the most prevalent chronic infection in the world mainly in developing countries, relating to pathologies ranging from acute gastritis to gastric cancer. In this research work, the prevalence of Helicobacter pylori infection and histopathological findings were established by analyzing the results of biopsies processed at a reference center in Valledupar. It is a retrospective descriptive study where the study population corresponded to 983 patients who attended a pathology center in Valledupar who, between 2015 - 2017, had a diagnostic test for Helicobacter pylori and histopathological studies. The overall prevalence of Helicobacter pylori infection in the period studied was 42.5%, with a higher number of patients observed in 2017 but the prevalence was higher in 2016 with 44.1%. The highest number of cases occurred in female patients with 25.3%. For the male sex it was 17.2%. The age range with the highest prevalence was 40-49 years with 60%. Regarding histopathological findings, Helicobacter pylori occurred in 27.1% of patients with chronic gastritis, in 9.9% with acute gastritis, in 4.5% with findings associated with malignancy, in 0.3% with normal findings and in 0.9%. With other findings.
