Abstract:

Objective: The relationship between Hepatitis Delta infection and Helicobacter infection in patients with non-cirrhotic hepatitis B infection was retrospectively investigated. Material and Methods: Stool samples of 117 patients included with Delta hepatitis infection in the study At total 36 of them were tested for H. Pylori infection. To detect H. Pylori, stool samples were tested using a commercial stool H. Pylori antigen assay. Results: Of these, 13 (19%) patients had H. Pylori seropositivity in the Hepatitis B infection group and 23 (48%) patients tested positive for H. Pylori infection in hepatitis delta infection group. There was a statistically significant difference between groups regarding H. Pylori seropositivity by the faecal test (p= 0.001). Conclusion: This study provides new knowledge on H. Pylori infection and reflects the need for evidence-based and comorbid dieases-oriented guidelines in the field of gastroenterology.
