Immune thrombocytopenia associated with Helicobacter pylori – unclear associative mechanisms

Immune Thrombocytopenia Associated with Hepatitis A Infection in Children

Hepatitis A infection is usually a self–limited disease during childhood. Autoimmune manifestations are rarely reported among patients with HA infection. We describe a previously healthy 6-yr-old male with acute hepatitis A who developed immune thrombocytopenia.

Immune responses to Helicobacter pylori colonization: mechanisms and clinical outcomes.

Helicobacter pylori colonizes the stomachs of half of the world's population and usually persists in the gastric mucosa of human hosts for decades or life. Although most H. pylori-positive people are asymptomatic, the presence of H. pylori is associated with increased risk for the development of peptic ulcer disease, gastric adenocarcinoma and gastric lymphoma. The development of a sustained ga...

Analysis of KRAS gene mutation associated with Helicobacter pylori infection in patients with gastric cancer

Objective(s): KRAS proto-oncogene mutation can be considered a diagnostic factor for treating various malignancies. Helicobacter pylori infection, a risk factor for stomach cancer, may cause DNA damage and genetic changes. The aim of the current study was to assess the association of gastric cancer and KRAS mutation, demographic factors, and H. pylori infection.<...
