Introduction: Recent studies have shown a relationship between H. pylori and chronic idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (CITP). Objective: The present study was performed to evaluate this relationship in Iranian patients. Methods:  The antibody (IgG) against H. pylori was studied in sixty-two patients with CITP, comprising 25 males and  37 females (mean age: 30.38±12.23 yrs ) The patients posi...

Objective(s):Helicobacter pylori infection occurs worldwide, but the prevalence of this infection varies greatly among different countries and population groups. The aim of this study was to determine the seroprevalence of anti-Helicobacter pylori and anti-cytotoxin-associated gene A (CagA) antibodies in asymptomatic healthy population in the center of Iran and to investigate the relation with ...

helicobacter pylori (h. pylori) is a spiral-shaped gram negative bacterium that naturally colonizes the human gastric epithelium. in recent years, large evidence has come to the literature strongly proposing causal link between h. pylori and extra gastric disorders. cardiovascular system is one of the extra gastric organs that can be affected by h. pylori infection. the first evidence suggestiv...

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 AND AIM: Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection is one of the most common infections which still affects individuals worldwide. The main route for transmission of H. pylori infection is the oral route and this microorganism has been detected in dental plaque. In past decades, there have been a number of controversies about the station of dental pl...

background: the optimal treatment is not possible yet for chronic prostatitis due to the unknown etiology of the diseases. we aimed to investigate the association of helicobacter pylori infection with chronic prostatitis. methods: in this prospective case-control study that conducted in imam hospital complex affiliated to tehran university of medical sciences in tehran, iran from 2014 to 2015, ...

Background: Helicobacter pylori (H.pylori) is a common bacterial infection, with considerably high morbidity and mortality worldwide. This bacterium represents a key factor in the etiology of various chronic infections ranging from gastritis, peptic ulcer disease to gastric cancer; but the prevalence has large variations in different communities. The aim of this study was to estimate the preval...

HIGHLIGHTS The interaction between innate and adaptive immune responses against H. pylori. virulence factors of pylori to evaluate the susceptibility infection. New treatment vaccination approaches for relating possible mechanisms. Mechanisms shaping considering genetics.

Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) was first identified in 1982 by the Australian physicians Barry Marshall and Robin Warren. is also known as Campylobacter pylori. It a gram-negative, micro-aerophilic, spiral (helical) bacterium usually found stomach. H. infection one of most common chronic bacterial infection, affecting approximately half world's population. Peptic ulcer disease, gastric ulcers,...
