Helicobacter pylori is a spiral-shaped gram-negative bacterium that infects half of the world’s population and is the main cause of chronic gastritis, gastric ulcer and gastric malignancies including gastric adenocarcinoma and mucus-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma [1,2]. Helicobacter pylori is the most common human pathogen and a successful pathogen and has been specifically transmit...

Helicobacter pylori is a spiral-shaped bacterium that grows in the digestive tract and may be present in more than half of the world's population. The clinical features of Helicobacter pylori range from asymptomatic gastritis to gastrointestinal malignancy. Mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma is a low-grade B-cell marginal zone lymphoma and Helicobacter pylori has been detected in...

BACKGROUND Helicobacter pylori is a common pathogen, and its prevalence varies with socioeconomic conditions (10-80%). It has recently been recognized as a class I carcinogen in relation to gastric cancer. The aim of this study was to investigate the presence of Helicobacter pylori in neoplasms of the colon by immunohistochemical methods. METHODS The polypectomy materials of 51 patients (19 m...

BACKGROUND Polymorphisms in the immune related genes are important in the clinical outcome of Helicobacter pylori infection. Myeloperoxidase -463 G/A polymorphism has been shown to reduce enzyme expression and activity. OBJECTIVE the aim of the present study is to investigate the association of myeloperoxidase G-463A polymorphism with clinical outcome of Helicobacter pylori infection. METHO...

AIM This study was carried out to assess the prevalence of Helicobacter pylori infection in various ABO blood groups of people of Kashmir. METHOD The study comprised 80 individuals - 50 peptic ulcer patients (whose disease was diagnosed by endoscopy) and 30 asymptomatic volunteers. Every subject's blood group and Rhesus status was determined by standard serological tests. Helicobacter pylori ...

Infection with Helicobacter pylori (HP) is the most prevalent infection worldwide, particularly in underdeveloped nations. It reported to be associated many extra gastrointestinal manifestations.

Both infection with Helicobacter pylori and alcohol abuse have been associated with low vitamin B12 serum levels. The interaction between both risk factors is unknown. The aim of this study was to determine whether Helicobacter pylori infection is associated with low vitamin B12 levels in alcohol dependent patients. Blood samples were obtained from adult alcohol dependent patients undergoing de...

BACKGROUND/AIMS There is increasing interest in noninvasive tests for the assessment of Helicobacter pylori infection, and urine-based tests have been widely used as noninvasive tests to detect Helicobacter pylori infection. The aim of this study was to evaluate the adaptation and usefulness of urine antibody enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and urine card tests in the clinical setting to dete...

CONTEXT Helicobacter pylori is the most common infecting organism affecting humans, being almost half the population infected. The aim of this study was to find out the epidemiological features and the sensitivity of diagnostic methods of Helicobacter pylori infection in Iran, which can provide the logic of developing preventive approaches to control Helicobacter pylori infections and the assoc...
