Objectives: Recurrent abdominal pain (RAP) impacts quality of life of the children. RAP also hampers education and physical activity of the children. Current study was aimed to find out the frequency of Helicobacter pylori in children with RAP in our tertiary care hospital. Study Design: Descriptive, cross-sectional study. Setting:  Department of Pediatric Medicine, Nishtar Hospital, Multan, Period: From 27-12-2017 to 26-06-2018. Material & Methods: A total of 185 patients suffering from RAP, aged 2-12 years, with a disease duration > 3 months, were enrolled. Age of the children, gender, duration of illness, number of episodes of pain, maternal literacy, family income, residential status, source of drinking water and h.pylori infection were calculated in these children. Post stratification chi-square test was applied to see its effect on H. Pylori infection. Results: Of these 185 study cases, 101 (54.6 %) were male patients while 84 (45.4%) were female. Mean age of our study cases was 7.57 ± 1.93 years. Of A total of 95 (51.4%) children belonged to rural areas and 90 (48.6 %) to urban areas. Helicobacter pylori infection was noted in 103 (55.7%) of our study cases. When helicobacter pylori  was stratified with regards to study variables, male gender, age < 8 years, monthly family income <Rs. 35000, source of drinking water as Hand Pump and disease duration < 6 months turned out to be statistically significant (P value < 0.05). Conclusion: Frequency of H.pylori was high in children with RAP. Helicobacter pylori was significantly associated with male gender, younger age, poor socioeconomic status, source of drinking water and disease duration.

Background: Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori), a curved rod shaped bacteria, is found to be associated with acid peptic disease patients, more in ulcer than non-ulcer, leading to a belief that H. pylori plays a role in its etiopathogenesis. In this study we examine the prevalence of H. pylori infection among dyspepsia patients with mucosal lesion.Methods: 300 patients of dyspepsia were enrolled in the study as per inclusion/exclusion criteria for a period of eight months. Enrolled patients were subjected to upper gastro-intestinal endoscopy and findings were recorded. Biopsy specimen taken from mucosal lesions were immediately inoculated on ‘RUT dry kit’ to test for H. pylori infection.Results: 234 out of 300 patients (78%) were found to be positive for H. pylori infection. The incidence of H. pylori infection was higher in patients with ulcer dyspepsia (88.46%) when compared to the patients with non-ulcer dyspepsia (72.44%).Conclusions: Prevalence of H. pylori infection was high and was found to have an association with ulcer dyspepsia allowing us to conclude that H. pylori may have a role in its etiopathogenesis.

Objectives: Determination of serum ferritin and iron profile in Helicobacter pylori infected young adult male reporting at a tertiary care hospital of Sindh. Study Design: Case control study. Study Setting & Duration: Department of Medicine, Layari General Hospital Shaheed Muhtrama Benazir Bhutto Medical College from January 2015 to February 2016. Study Subjects and Methods: 100 cases (H. pylori stool specific antigen positive) and 100 controls (H pylori negative) were selected and studied. 5 ml blood was collected in a disposable syringe by venesection. 2 ml was put in EDTA tubes and 3 ml was centrifuged (3000 x rpm for 10 minutes). Sera were used for the estimation of iron profile. Elisa assay method (Fortress diagnostics) detected the H. pylori stool specific antigen (HpSA). Data was analyzed on SPSS 22.0 (USA) at 95% CI (P≤ 0.05). Results: Age of control and cases was noted 35.48±4.79 and 33.60±3.96 years (P=0.053). Hb, Hct and RBC counts were low in cases (P=0.0001) significantly. Serum iron (Fe++), ferritin and TIBC in controls and cases were noted 152.72±6.08 and 118.79±43.30 μg/dl, 394.34±136.50 and 529.87±101.0 ng/dl, & 140.80±19.99 and 130.88±28.46 μg/dl respectively (P=0.0001) (Table-I). Conclusion: Helicobacter pylori infection causes iron malabsorption as detected by serum iron and ferritin and total iron binding capacity in young adult male.

Background: Gastritis is one of the commonest clinical conditions encountered by a physician. The most common cause is said to be infection with Helicobacter pylori. The present study was aimed to diagnose the prevalence of H. pylori infection among the cases of gastritis and its correlation with histopathological findings and associated rapid urease test.Methods: A one year prospective study at a tertiary care hospital was conducted and all cases of gastritis were included and socio demographic data, clinical complaints and duration were noted. Endoscopy was performed on all cases. Biopsy was performed histopathological examination with staining and graded by Houston-updated Sydney system. Rapid urease test was performed and findings noted.Results: 325 cases with 215 male and 110 female cases were included. 26.15% were in age group of more than 60 years and number of cases increased with age. Mean age of study participants was 39.12±2.8 years and heart burn was the common complaint in the study cases. 81.54% of the cases revealed endoscopic gastritis on endoscopy and hyperaemia was commonest. 83.69% were positive by rapid urease test. Rapid urease test is more sensitive than histological staining in confirmation of H. pylori infection.Conclusions: To conclude on the present study, the prevalence of H. pylori infection is on a global rise and appropriate measures to reduce the prevalence is quite an urgent necessity. Histopathological interpretation of gastric biopsies is a reliable indicator of H. pylori infection as well as gastritis grading according to the Sydney grading system.

CONTEXT: In spite of Helicobacter pylori infection being the etiological cause of peptic ulcer and its high prevalence in Brazil, the prevalence of peptic ulcer disease has been poorly studied. OBJECTIVES: To verify the peptic ulcer disease prevalence in patients of a tertiary care hospital. METHODS: Diagnostic findings from 1,478 consecutive endoscopies were correlated with the urease test results for H. pylori infection diagnosis and demographic data in a total of 3,779 endoscopies performed in 2005. The mean age of the patients was 51.14 ± 16.46, being 613 (41.5%) men. RESULTS: Peptic ulcer was diagnosed in 494 (33.4%) patients with a mean age of 54.86 ± 14.53, 205 (52%) were men, being 391 (26.5%) duodenal ulcer and 103 (7%) gastric ulcer. Normal endoscopy was found in 272 (18.4%) patients with a mean age of 38.4 ± 15.22, being 49 (18%) men. The comparison of peptic ulcer group with the patients that had normal endoscopy revealed that H. pylori infection [P = 0.005; OR = 1.70; 95% CI = 1.17-2.47][ign], male gender [P<0.0001; OR = 5.53; 95%CI = 3.67-8.34][ign] and older age [P<0.0001; OR = 1.08; 95%CI = 1.06-1.09] increased the risk of peptic ulcers. The overall H. pylori prevalence was 53% (786). CONCLUSIONS: Prevalence of duodenal ulcer is high in a Brazilian population that had H. pylori infection associated with older age and male gender as important determinants to gastrointestinal diseases outcome. Future prospective studies should confirm these findings.

Background: Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection is a medical encumber especially in the developing countries, ranging from acute inflammation to malignancy. The study is intended to explore the prevalence of H. pylori infection and also to compute its associated risk factors.Methods: Sixty two (n=62) symptomatic patients attending the tertiary care hospital, were included in the study. Two antral biopsies collected from each patient were subjected to rapid urease test and Gram staining. IgG antibodies were detected by rapid test based on the principle of Immunochromatography. To evaluate the risk factors, various determinants were asked to each patient in the form of questionnaire. Statistical analysis was done using Fisher exact test. P value < 0.05 was considered significant.Results: Prevalence rate of H. pylori infection was 24.19 % (15/62). More than half (53%) of the infected patients had complained of persistent burning abdominal pain. Prevalence rate was found highest in the patients suffering from peptic ulcer disease (66.6%, P=0.0237). Consumption of unfiltered water (P=0.007, Odd Ratio (OR)-1.06), eating spicy food, meat, fish and chili pepper (P=0.052, OR-1.01) was found the major risk factors. Addictive habits of either smoking/alcohol/tobacco (P=0.904) were not associated with infection.Conclusions: Prevalence of H. pylori infection was found low comparatively and was mainly associated with symptom of persistent burning abdominal pain and peptic ulcer. Use of unfiltered water, spicy food, chili pepper and meat undoubtedly increase the risk of acquiring H. pylori infection. Addictive habits were not significantly associated with infection.
