BACKGROUND Cardiac syndrome X (CSX) is a condition in which patients have the pain of angina despite normal coronary angiogram. Recently, Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) bacteria has been associated with CSX. However, there is no obvious data about the frequency of its virulent strain (cytotoxine associated gene A: CagA) in patients with CSX. We surveyed the frequency of H. pylori and CagA anti...

development of a stool antigen immunoassay to detect helicobacter pylori infection requires monoclonal antibody against the specific antigen. alkylhydroperoxide reductase (ahpc) of helicobacter pylori has been described as a specific and unique enzyme for h. pylori and therefore, both h. pylori ahpc and anti-ahpc could be useful in the development of serologic and stool antigen tests, for detec...

INTRODUCTION Chronic kidney failure was suggested to have a protective effect against Helicobacter pylori infection in adults. However, data about this effect in children is lacking. This study was designed to ascertain the prevalence, endoscopic findings, and histopathological features accompanying the Helicobacter pylori infection in children with end-stage renal disease. MATERIALS AND METH...

Peptic ulcer is a chronic recurrent disease, accompanied by alternating periods of exacerbation and remission, its main feature the formation an in wall stomach (or) duodenum, penetrating – this difference from superficial damage to mucous membrane (erosions) into submucosal layer. The etiology appearance Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) falling favorable conditions with weakened microfl presenc...

Thirty years have passed since Warren and Marshall's discovery of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori). Since then, not only peptic ulcer diseases and chronic gastritis but also non-cardia gastric cancers have been recognized as diseases originating from H. pylori infection. Several combination therapies consisting of multiple antibiotics have been developed as first- or second-line regimens to erad...

Helicobacter pylori is a Gram-negative bacterium that is considered a causative agent of peptic ulcer disease, gastric lymphoma, and gastric carcinoma. Helicobacter pylori triggers an intense leucocyte infiltration of the gastric submucosa, an action which is mediated by pro-inflammatory cytokines. This pathogenetic mechanism is common to many other diseases and consequently, Helicobacter pylor...

background: recent studies have suggested that chronic infections with chlamydia pneumoniae (cpn) and helicobacter pylori (hp) may be associated with the risk of myocardial infarction (mi). methods: a cross sectional study was conducted on 140 citizens. seroprevalence was assessed by elisa tests measuring iga and igg antibodies to cpn and hp in sera. results: among patients, %11.4 and %90.0 wer...

Russell body gastritis is a rare form of chronic gastritis. It is characterized by the invasion of lamina propria by plasma cells that included eosinophilic cytoplasmic inclusion. In the literature, most of the cases are associated with Helicobacter pylori. Russell body gastritis and Helicobacter pylori infection are generally seen together incidentally. We report here two cases of Russell body...

Patients of chronic gastritis should be investigated with gastric mucosal biopsy, parietal cell antibody, intrinsic factor antibody, Helicobacter pylori antibody, urea breath test or faecal antigen test for Helicobacter pylori, to accurately classify them. The results of these tests will indicate Helicobacter pylori infection (present or past), the role of hereditary factor (intrinsic factor an...

Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is a bacterium that naturally thrives in acidic environments and has the potential to induce various gastrointestinal disorders humans. The antibiotic therapy utilized for treating H. can lead undesired side effects, such as dysbiosis gut microbiota. objective of our study was explore antibacterial effects nisin lactic acid (LA) yogurt against pylori. Additionall...
