Association between cerebral ischemia and cytotoxin-associated gene-A-bearing strains of Helicobacter pylori.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Studies on Helicobacter pylori infection and risk of ischemic stroke yielded variable results. Infection with more virulent H. pylori strains, such as cytotoxin-associated gene-A (CagA)-bearing strains, may be of particular relevance for ischemic diseases. We investigated whether H. pylori and CagA seropositivity are independent risk factors for cerebral ischemia or its e...
متن کاملThe interrelationship between cytotoxin-associated gene A, vacuolating cytotoxin, and Helicobacter pylori-related diseases.
The interrelationship between cytotoxin-associated gene A (CagA), vacuolating cytotoxin (VacA), and Helicobacter pylori-related diseases was investigated in 155 H. pylori-infected patients. Four (7%) of 60 subjects had mixed cagA+ and cagA- H. pylori infections. The H. pylori isolates from 98.3% of 121 patients with anti-CagA antibodies were cagA+. The occurrence of cagA+ H. pylori among 76 pat...
متن کاملCytotoxin-associated gene-A--positive Helicobacter pylori strains are associated with atherosclerotic stroke.
BACKGROUND It is uncertain whether Helicobacter pylori is associated with ischemic syndromes and whether this association is mediated by the induction of atherosclerosis. In this study, we tested the hypothesis that atherosclerotic stroke shows a selective association with virulent H pylori strains. METHODS AND RESULTS The seroprevalence of infection by H pylori and by strains bearing the cyt...
متن کاملCytotoxin-associated Gene-A-positive Helicobacter pylori strains infection increases the risk of recurrent atherosclerotic stroke.
BACKGROUND CagA-positive Helicobacter pylori infection has been found to be associated with a first-ever atherosclerotic stroke. The aim of this study was to investigate whether these strains represent an independent risk factor for recurrent atherosclerotic stroke. MATERIALS AND METHODS We performed a longitudinal study of patients with a first-ever large vessels stroke and resulted positive...
متن کاملSeroprevalence of anti-Helicobacter pylori and anti-cytotoxin-associated gene A antibodies among healthy individuals in center of Iran
Objective(s):Helicobacter pylori infection occurs worldwide, but the prevalence of this infection varies greatly among different countries and population groups. The aim of this study was to determine the seroprevalence of anti-Helicobacter pylori and anti-cytotoxin-associated gene A (CagA) antibodies in asymptomatic healthy population in the center of Iran and to investigate the relation with ...
