| description | Helicobacter pylori is a significant pathogen of the gastrointestinal tract infection connected with gastritis,
peptic ulcers, and gastric carcinoma. Its infection influence more than half of the world’s inhabitants.
This study aims to reveal the prevalence rate of H. pylori infection among patients with gastroenteritis
and to investigate the risk factors such as age, gender, residency, blood group and rhesus factors related
to this infection in Erbil city. Of 300 stool specimens from patients presenting with gastroenteritis who
were admitted to Rizgary Teaching Hospital, Erbil, Iraq, from September 2018 to February 2019 were
collected and screened for the presence of H. pylori antigens using rapid immunochromatographic
assay (Camp Medica Group, Bucharest, Romania). A questionnaire sheet was prepared and used for
each study subject. Of 300 samples examined, H. pylori were detected in 79 samples (26.33%). The
highest rate of H. pylori infection was founded among the age group 21–30 years, but there were no
significant differences between them (P > 0.05). A significant relationship between H. pylori infection
and gender (male 19.05% and female 33.33%) was recorded (P < 0.05). There was a significant
association between H. pylori infection and ABO blood group among patients (P < 0.05), but there is no
significant association between H. pylori infection and the type of rhesus factor (P > 0.05) that H. pylori
infection was higher in rhesus factor negative compared to rhesus factor positive. The prevalence was
significantly higher among rural area (55.56%) than urban area (23.44%) (P < 0.05). We concluded
that the spread of H. pylori positive rate was high among patients with gastroenteritis in Erbil city. The
great prevalence of H. pylori was founded in the patients with O blood group, urban area, and females.
There was no significant association between H. pylori infection and age groups and rhesus factor. |
