OBJECTIVE Helicobacter pylori infection is one of the most common bacterial infections in men. This gastrointestinal pathogen is closely related to gastritis, peptic ulcers, and the increased risk of gastric cancer. Numerous studies have indicated oral cavities as possible Helicobacter pylori reservoirs. Helicobacter pylori has been detected both in supragingival and subgingival plaques, and al...

introduction: lymphomas as a group rank seventh as the most leading cause of death in cancers. stomach is the most common extra nodal site of primary lymphomas. on the other hand, new information demonstrates that malt lymphoma responds to helicobacter antibiotic therapy. we therefore decided to determine the frequency of distribution of helicobacter pylori infection in primary gastric lymphoma...

Our study included 59 children, aged 12.2 +/- 4.6 years, with Helicobacter pylori infection and 29 children, aged 11.0 +/- 4.2 years, with past H. pylori infection after spontaneous eradication with positive IgG antibodies against H. pylori and with functional disorders of the gastrointestinal tract, without H. pylori infection, with normal IgG concentration against H. pylori. All biopsy specim...

Helicobacter pylori antibodies were measured over 24 months in American Indian and Alaska Native persons who cleared their infections. Two months after treatment, 82% of H. pylori-negative persons remained seropositive. While there were declines in H. pylori antibodies for 12 months, after 24 months 71% of persons remained seropositive.

In 2006, the Canadian Helicobacter Study Group identified Aboriginal communities among Canadian population groups most at risk of Helicobacter pylori-associated disease. The objective of this systematic review was to summarize what is known about the H pylori-associated disease burden in Canadian and related Arctic Aboriginal populations to identify gaps in knowledge. Six health literature data...

BACKGROUND/AIMS Conventional triple therapy (CT) for Helicobacter pylori infection fails in up to one-third of patients. Sequential therapy (ST) seem be more effective than CT in other countries. However, there is no systemic literature review that directly compares CT and ST in Korea. The aim of this study was to compare ST with CT for H. pylori infection in Korea. METHODS Six randomized, pr...
