Objectives: To determine the frequency of Helicobacter pylori infection in the local population presenting with dyspeptic symptom report to a tertiary care hospital of Nawabshah. Methodology: This cross-sectional study took place at department of medicine, Peoples Medical College and Hospital Nawabshah; during six months, form August 2015 to February 2016. A total of 115 patients with dyspeptic symptoms with upper abdominal disorders such as discomfort and pain, nausea, fullness, bloating, heartburn, anorexia, belching and regurgitation were included. After conducting detailed clinical examination and history, patients were subjected to relevant examinations, i.e. Blood antibody test (IgA antibody test), for H. pylori and venous blood was drawn. All the information was collected in the proforma. Results: The patients’ average age was 30.92±6.10 years. There were 66(57.4%) male cases and 49(42.6%) female cases. Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection was observed to be frequent (60% cases) among both genders. Conclusion: In conclusion, the present results confirm that the frequency of patients suffering from helicobacter pylori infection was quite high in local population at tertiary care hospital, Nawabshah. Strategies could be developed at an earlier stage and prompt treatment may reduce the morbidity. Key Words: Dyspepsia, Helicobacter pylori, IgA antibody test

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.
