| Abstract | ||
| Sixty blood samples have been collected from chronic active, atrophic gastritis and ulcer cases of which 51 was observed to be positive for Helicobacter pylori. In the current study it was observed that majority of patients infected with H. pylori were males (64.7%). Furthermore, this study revealed that most patients were young adults (70.7%) at age less than 40 years. Moreover, high incidence of stomach cancer (56.86%) was evoked among those who infected with H. pylori particularly young adult patients (44.3%) in comparison with ulcer and chronic gastritis cases. Infection with this organism should therefore be paying more attention since it formed a gastrointestinal problem. Treatment with short courses of antibiotics to eradicate the infection beside improvement of sanitary and hygienic conditions was recommended to eliminate such complications. | ||
