Background The aim was to investigate the reinfection rate of H. pylori during a follow-up period of 12 months in adults who had undergone eradication therapy. Methods One hundred-twenty patients; 116 with gastritis, 3 with duodenal ulcer and 1 gastric ulcer, were studied. Their mean age was 41 ± 13 years (range 18–77) and male: female ratio of 2:1. H. pylori were cultured and antibiotic sensitivity was determined by Epsilometer test (E-test) for clarithromycin (CLR) and amoxicillin (AMX). Primers of urease C gene of H. pylori and Sau-3 and Hha I restriction enzymes were used for polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment …

Does Helicobacter Pylori Protect Against Eosinophilic Esophagitis In Children?, Yoram Elitsur Md, Baraa Alabd Alrazzak, Deborah L. Preston, Yulia Demetieva

Background: Helicobacter pylori infection and eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE)
in children seem to have a reversed association with socioeconomic status
(hygienic condition) and allergy conditions. While Hp infection (Hp) is
highly associated with poor hygiene and/or poor socioeconomic status, but
not with allergic conditions (asthma, rhinitis, etc.), EoE has the opposite
epidemiological relationship (high association with allergy but low with low
hygienic conditions).

Aim: To investigate the association between Hp infection and EoE in children.

Methods: A retrospective chart review of all children who undergo the first
upper endoscopy procedure in the gastroenterology clinic, between 2007
and 2012, was performed. Demographic, …
