Background: Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori), is the major known infectious cause of gastric diseases in children and adults. The rate of antibiotic resistance to H. pylori treatment regimens has rapidly increased. We aimed to determine the sensitivity of helicobacter pylori in gastric tissue samples of children and adolescents to various antibiotics in Isfahan, Center of Iran. Materials and Met...

BACKGROUND To investigate any possible relationship between serum leptin level and H.pylori infection in dyspeptic Iranian adults. METHODS A total of 153 dyspeptic patients referring to Firoozgar hospital for esophagogastroduodenoscopywere enrolled in the study. Serum leptin level was measuredbefore endoscopy, after overnight fasting. Two biopsy specimens weretaken from antrum for each patien...

h.pylori is one of the common infectious agent that involves in acute and chronic gastritis, peptic scar and gastric cancer. the infection episode in children ranges between 10 to 80 percent and the high frequency in developing countries. the goal of this study was to determine the incident of h.pylori in the patients carried out to endoscopy and the effective factors. in this study, 50 patient...

The aim of the study was to evaluate the suitability of a modified one minute rapid urease test (one day rapid urease test) as a low cost H. pylori detection method. A sample of 205 patients clinically suspected of having H. pylori infection was tested. One day rapid urease test and histology based H. pylori tests (the gold standard) were performed on endoscopic antral biopsies. There were 6 tr...

Background and objectives: Helicobacter pylori infection is suspected to be associated with extra-gastrointestinal disorders such as diabetes mellitus (DM). It still a subject of investigation whether H. has pathogenic role on DM or diabetic patients have an increased susceptibility infection. The aim the present study was find out rate in individuals without DM.
 Materials methods: conduc...

Traditional diagnostic assays for Helicobacter pylori detection have their limitations. Molecular methods can improve both diagnosis and understanding of gastric diseases. Here we describe an in-house quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (q-rt-PCR) for the detection of H. pylori in gastric biopsies which has been developed and has a detection limit of 10 copies, the specificity of w...

BACKGROUND Epidemiology of diseases changes over time with changes in socio-economic status, culture and health care systems. Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and peptic ulcer disease (PUD) are among the diseases whose epidemiology has changed over the past few decades in the west. Studies addressing the trend of GERD and PUD occurrence in Iran are lacking. We aimed to look at the time tr...
