We examined Helicobacter pylori infection in patients who visited the Iso Clinic (Kasama City, Ibaraki Prefecture) with abdominal complaints, and determined the prevalence of H. pylori infection by age, sex, endoscopic diagnosis, abdominal complaint, gastric mucosa, and living environment. Peptic ulcer disease was observed in 23.2% of the patients examined with endoscopy, but there was no assoc...

objective: to investigate the importance of endoscopic nodular gastritis associated with helicobacter pylori infection in children. methods: in this prospective study, 220 consecutive patients (age range 2 to 15 years, mean age 9. 02 ±3 .3 ), 118 of them males (53. 6%) underwent upper endoscopy during evaluation of chronic abdominal pain. the appearance of nodular gastritis was observed during ...

background: ( h.pylori ) infection is a common bacterial infection in humans. approximately half of the helicobacter pylori people throughout the world are infected by this gastric microbial pathogen. the outcome of h.pylori infection varies from gastritis to peptic ulcers, duodenal ulcers and gastric malignancies. this study aims to estimate the prevalence of h.pylori infection and iron defici...

conclusions there was a significant correlation between crs and presence of h. pylori in sinonasal mucosa. this relationship may reflect the role of h. pylori as one of the pathogenic factors in the development of crs. however, further studies are required to confirm this role. results nine patients (18%) with crs had h. pylori isolated from their samples whereas in the control group, h. pylori...

abstract   background: gastric cancer is the second most common cancer and also the second cancer related death all over the world. in recent years recorded data for tumor has shown a rise in the incidence of gastric cancer in young individuals. the present study was designed to compare some of the epidemiologic characteristics of individuals suffering from gastric cancer aged below and above f...

background since the discovery of helicobacter pylori, several clinical reports have demonstrated that h. pylori infection has emerged as a new cause of refractory iron stores in children. we carried out a systematic literature review to primarily evaluate the existing evidence on the association between childhood h. pylori infection and iron deficiency anemia (ida) and secondly, to investigate...

BACKGROUND Helicobacter pylori infection is now widely recognized as a cause of stomach cancer. We assessed trends in H. pylori infection in Japan, a population with high rates of gastric malignancy. METHODS Using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), we tested sera collected between 1980 and 1993 from Tokyo University Hospital patients for anti-H. pylori IgG. Patients ranged in age f...

INTRODUCTION Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) a spiral-shaped, Gram negative bacterium found on the luminal surface of the gastric epithelium, was first isolated in 1983 (1). H. pylori infection is the most common chronic human bacterial infection (2). Its prevalence increases with lower socioeconomic class and older age, so its geographic distribution is markedly variable (3). H. pylori infects...
