Background: Helicobacter pylori (HP) infection is one of the most important causes of gastrointestinal diseases such as peptic ulcer. This bacterium has recently been reported to be associated with low serum vitamin B12 level. In this study we investigated the relationship between Helicobacter pylori seropositivity and the serum B12 level in women aging 15-49 years in Khorram Abad . Material...

BACKGROUND Helicobacter pylori infection has recently been incriminated in the pathogenesis of gastric carcinoma and chronic atrophic gastritis and intestinal metaplasia are considered to be precursors of this condition. Although the incidence of Helicobacter pylori infection in India is high that of gastric carcinoma is low. We, therefore, decided to examine the association between Helicobacte...

The increasingly widespread use of novel immunosuppressive drugs may lead to unexpected infectious complications. We report a case of persistent Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection that failed to respond to antimicrobial therapy in a patient receiving omalizumab (Xolair™, Genentech USA Inc., San Francisco, CA and Novartis Pharmaceuticals, Basel, Switzerland), an anti-IgE monoclonal antibo...

Characterization of gut microbiome and metabolome in Helicobacter pylori patients an underprivileged community the United States

Only few epidemiological studies have examined the rate of active H. pylori infection in the symptomatic population in Pakistan. This retrospective study presents the laboratory data collected during the past 13 years (2002 to 2015) from 2315 symptomatic patients referred to the BreathMAT Lab, Nuclear Medicine, Oncology and Radiotherapy Institute, Islamabad for the diagnosis of active H. pylori...

To compare the serum concentrations of IgG to Helicobacter pylori and its virulence factor CagA in patients with ischaemic heart disease (IHD), we recruited 120 patients with IHD [acute myocardial infarction (AMI) (n = 60); unstable angina (UA) (n = 60)] and 60 sex- and age-matched healthy controls in this study. The seroprevalence of anti-H. pylori IgG was 86.7% in AMI, 91.7% in UA patients an...

Evaluating the Genetic Diversity of Helicobacter pylori Isolates in Patients Suffering from Gastritis

OBJECTIVE To determine whether chronic Helicobacter pylori infection is a risk factor for migraine. BACKGROUND Preliminary studies have shown a high prevalence of Helicobacter pylori infection in patients with primary headaches. METHODS One hundred three consecutive patients with migraine were enrolled in the study and compared with a group of 103 matched controls. Helicobacter pylori infec...

conclusions findings of this study demonstrate no significant difference between levels of h. pylori specific antibodies of iga, igg, anti-caga and the presence of pcos disorders, and also indicate that serologic testing is a sensitive method for the detection of h. pylori antibodies. the high prevalence of h. pylori positive antibody levels in both pcos and non-pcos patients can be probably as...

BACKGROUND Higher serological prevalence rates of helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection have been reported in patients with type 1 diabetes (T1DM) and autoimmune thyroiditis (AT). Patients with T1DM are at increased risk for developing other autoimmune diseases, most commonly AT. It is unknown whether H. pylori infection could explain the high prevalence of thyroid autoantibodies and AT in ...
