Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is a gram-negative bacteria infecting more than 50% of human population. H. pylori selectively colonizes gastric mucosa and represents the major cause of gastroduodenal pathologies, such as gastric ulcer, autoimmune gastritis, gastric cancer and B cell lymphoma of mucosa associated lymphoid tissue (MALT). In this review interplay between H. pylori and both innate...

Nearly half of the global population are carriers of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori), a Gram-negative bacterium that persists in the healthy human stomach. H. pylori can be a pathogen and causes development of peptic ulcer disease in a certain state of the macroorganism. It is well established that H. pylori infection is the main cause of chronic gastritis and peptic ulcer disease (PUD). Decont...

The aims of this study were to detect Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) by culture, polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and histopathological methods, to determine the prevalence of active H. pylori infection in Elazig Province, East of Turkey and to evaluate the relationship between H. pylori infection and sex. Antrum and corpus samples of 184 Turkish patients (85 male and 99 female, age range 17 to...

O Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) é uma bactéria comum que habita a mucosa gástrica, presente em grande parte da população mundial. É importante destacar esse patógeno leva um problema de saúde pública global, sendo associado diversas doenças. Objetivo: analisar os obstáculos e benefícios erradicação do H. pylori. Metodologia: foi realizada revisão sistemática baseada na metodologia PRISMA, esc...

An association between Helicobacter infection and autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) in children was investigated. The prevalence of antibodies to H. pylori did not differ between the AIH and the control group, (22% versus 14%), and antibodies to non-gastric Helicobacter were not detected in either group. H. pylori DNA was found in two AIH liver tissues, but Helicobacter was not cultured from any sample.

Aim To determine the correlation of Helicobacter pylori infection with peripheral blood neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and mean platelet volume (MPV). Materials and methods The NLR, MPV, platelets, leukocytes, neutrophils, and lymphocytes were calculated and the differences between groups were investigated. Results A total of 199 patients were included in the study. Neutrophil/lymphocyte...

INTRODUCTION. Helicobacter pylori infection can be diagnosed by biopsy-based or noninvasive methods. Our aim was to identify H pylori-positive patients on hemodialysis by the noninvasive method of H pylori stool antigen (HPSA) and investigate its diagnostic accuracy for assessment of the eradication of infection after treatment in comparison with urea breath test (UBT). MATERIALS AND METHODS. S...

seroepidemiologic studies in developing countries show a high rate of helicobacter pylori (h. pylori) infections in children, in contrast to developed countries. the aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of h. pylori in children and teenagers in tabriz, northwest of iran. in this prospective study 44 children and teenagers were randomly selected to study serum igg against h. pylori u...

Background: Helicobacter pylori is the cause of serious diseases including gastric cancer and gastric mucosa–associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma.50% of world population is infected by this microorganism and it -based on epidemiologic studies - is mainly acquired during childhood . there is not enough evidence about prevalence of this infection in children and its risk factors so encourage us to...

Background and Objective: Different studies have investigated the link between helicobacter pylori and extra digestive diseases such as idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura. However, the relationship between ITP and H pylori is less clear. Most of the studies have focused on H pylori eradication in chronic ITP, so we focused on the effect of H pylori eradication on chronicity of ITP in adult pat...
