BACKGROUND Helicobacter pylori infection is one of the most common chronic bacterial infections. There is challenge on the real rate of prevalence of H. pylori in diabetic patients. This study was done to assess the prevalence of H. pylori infection in children suffering from type 1 insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus. METHODS In this case-control study, 80 diabetic patients (as the target gr...

Background: Word-wide there is decreasing prevalence of Helicobacter pylori (H. Pylori) infection. As we are lacking in consistent data regarding H. Pylori infection our polpulation, aimed to find out H.pylori patients with dyspepsia Nort-East part Bangladesh. 
 Material and methods: Clinical variables, stool antigen test result endoscopic findings consecutive were recorded a semi-structur...

A biprobe real-time PCR protocol, followed by hybridization melting point analysis, to detect point mutations in the 23S rRNA gene of Helicobacter pylori associated with clarithromycin resistance was established and evaluated in a clinical study. Of 92 patients who underwent endoscopy, 45 were found to be H. pylori infected and invariably were also culture positive. Of the 45 isolates, 11 were ...

Clinical studies have shown that bismuth-containing quadruple therapy given twice a day for 10 to 14 days is effective and safe in the treatment of Helicobacter pylori infection in Sardinia. However, bismuth is no longer available in Italy. To report the effectiveness and tolerability of pantoprazole 20 mg, tetracycline 500 mg, and metronidazole 500 mg given b.i.d. (with the midday and evening ...

Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is a gram-negative, microaerophilic bacterium that cause the stomach infection in more than 50% of human population worldwide. The aim of this study was to examine the possibility of anti-H. pylori immunoglobulins Y (IgYs) production in quails and evaluate the effect of the different methods of immunization on titers of IgY in egg yolks. Whole cell bacterial anti...

BACKGROUND Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection has been associated with atherosclerosis of coronary arteries but there is lack of data regarding possible association between chronic H. Pylori infection and cerebral non-cardioembolic ischemia. We evaluated H. pylori serum antibody titers in patients with cerebral non-cardioembolic ischemic stroke. METHODS This was a cross-sectional study...

Since the initial isolation of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) in 1982 by Warren and Marshall, the diagnosis and treatment of H. pylori has remained problematic [1]. Although the incidence varies by geographic location and socioeconomic conditions, H. pylori remains one of the most common bacterial infections in the world [2]. The estimated incidence of H. pylori within the United States is 30-...

Helicobacter pylori is the cause of type B gastritis and associated with peptic ulcer disease. Various methods are available for detecting H pylori, but all have limitations. H pylori infection can be diagnosed by tests requiring endoscopy (rapid urease test, histology, culture) and by non-invasive tests (carbon-13 urea breath test, serology, stool tests). The urea breath test is currently the ...
