BACKGROUND Oral cavity has been proposed as an important reservoir of H.pylori, being implicated in bacterial transmission through oral-oral route. However, some investigators believe that the newborn acquires H.pylori from mother through vaginal delivery. In this study, oral and vaginal yeasts were examined for the intracellular occurrence of H.pylori and their possible role in bacterial trans...

BACKGROUND Empiric triple treatments for Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) are increasingly unsuccessful. We evaluated factors associated with failure of these treatments in the central region of Portugal. METHODS This single-center, prospective study included 154 patients with positive (13)C-urea breath test (UBT). Patients with no previous H. pylori treatments (Group A, n = 103) received pant...

INTRODUCTION In emergency department (ED) patients with upper abdominal pain, management includes ruling out serious diseases and providing symptomatic relief. One of the major causes of upper abdominal pain is an ulcer caused by Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori), which can be treated and cured with antibiotics. We sought to estimate the prevalence of H. pylori infection in symptomatic patients u...

BACKGROUND Several studies have assessed the relationship between Helicobacter pylori infection and dyspeptic symptoms in highly selected patient populations and they have yielded inconsistent results. AIM To investigate the relationship between current H. pylori infection, intake of analgesics or anti-inflammatory medication, and personal factors with dyspeptic symptoms in a large, unselecte...

The urea breath test (UBT) is one of the most important non-invasive methods for detecting Helicobacter pylori infection. The test exploits the hydrolysis of orally administered urea by the enzyme urease, which H pylori produces in large quantities. Urea is hydrolysed to ammonia and carbon dioxide, which diffuses into the blood and is excreted by the lungs. Isotopically labelled CO2 can be dete...

Background: The prevalence of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection in Indonesia has been reported to be exceedingly low. The purpose of our study was to confirm whether this is the case in Northern Jakarta using a sensitive 13C-urea breath test (UBT), and to examine any associations with lifestyle/environment factors and potential routes of transmission. Methods: We recruited a total of 19...

BACKGROUND The use of quadruple therapy for Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) eradication is a highly efficacious, gold standard regimen. However, according to a number of studies, this regimen has numerous compliance problems and adverse effects. In the current study we have evaluated the H. pylori eradication rate following a quadruple therapy that included omeprazole, bismuth subcitrate, amoxi...
