Helicobacter pylori and dyspepsia.

What Is the Difference Between Helicobacter pylori-Associated Dyspepsia and Functional Dyspepsia?

Advances in basic and clinical research have revealed that Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection plays an important role in the development of gastroduodenal dysmotility and hypersensitivity, as also in dyspepsia symptoms. In addition, recent studies have proposed an inflammation-immunological model for the pathogenesis of functional dyspepsia. Since H. pylori is the major microbe that prov...

Helicobacter pylori and functional dyspepsia: review of previous studies and commentary on new data.

Many studies have attempted to prove a link between Helicobacter pylori infection and functional dyspepsia but the results have been conflicting. Several mechanisms have been postulated for how H pylori associated inflammation disturbs antral and duodenal function but no pathophysiological explanation of how H pylori may cause dyspeptic symptoms is presently available.

Helicobacter pylori seropositivity among the patients with acute dyspepsia

Acute dyspepsia is a common gastrointestinal problem in clinical practice. Sometimes, this disorder is usually mentioned as a functional disorder[1]. This disease is due to the poor dietary behavior and there is a scientific evidence that the gastric infection by Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is the cause of this medical disorder. Here, the authors report on the prevalence of H. pylori seropo...

Dyspepsia Symptoms and Helicobacter pylori Infection, Nakuru, Kenya

The prevalence of Helicobacter pylori infection was studied in 138 patients with dyspepsia in a hospital in Nakuru, Kenya, and in 138 asymptomatic sex- and age-matched controls from the same population. Anti-H. pylori immunoglobulin (Ig) G was more prevalent in dyspeptic than asymptomatic persons (71% vs. 51%), particularly those <30 years old (71% vs. 38%). H. pylori seropositivity was associa...
