The objective of the study was to assess the effect of age on the seroprevalence of Helicobacter (H.) pylori infection in dyspeptic patients. The results obtained in the patient group were compared with findings on the seroprevalence of H. pylori infection in 2051 blood donors. Serum samples were tested by the commercial ELISA and CFT assays according to manufacturer's instructions. The mean se...

Helicobacter pylori infection alone or in combination with other factors is an important factor predisposing to dyspeptic disorders. Eradication of H. pylori fully eliminated dyspeptic syndrome or reduced its severity in the presence of concomitant factors. The efficacy of H. pylori eradication after first line therapy amounted to 85-90% based on the results of 13C-urease breath test, i.e. resi...

BACKGROUND Most nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are nonselective cyclooxygenase (COX-1 and COX-2) inhibitors and are associated with a variety of upper gastrointestinal (GI) tract symptoms. The roles of COX-1 and COX-2 in the pathogenesis of these symptoms are unclear. To test whether COX-2 inhibition with rofecoxib would have greater GI tolerability than nonselective COX-1 and CO...

BACKGROUND The importance of coinfection of Helicobacter pylori (H.pylori) and Candida albicans (C. albicans) in the development of gastric diseases is not known. In this study, the frequency of concurrent infection of H. pylori and C. albicans in dyspeptic patients was assessed while considering age, gender, and PPI consumption of patients. METHODS Gastric biopsies were taken from 74 yeast-p...
