“…This can be due to fewer number of elderly patients. [9] This finding is similar to that of the study laid by Tarkhasvili et al [10] However, studies by Shokrzadeh et al [11] and Kaore et al [12] reported increasing H. pylori infection in age groups of 20 -40 years than the older age groups. Recently, several studies have reported declining prevalence of H. pylori infection over the last decade.…”

Introduction: Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) related chronic gastritis is a major health problem worldwide, specially in the developing countries. The prevalence of H. pylori infection has been reported to vary between and even within countries. There are limited data on this infection in Western Nepal. Our objective was to study the prevalence of H. pylori infection and its association with presenting complains and upper gastrointestinal diseases. Methods: Medical records of patients undergoing gastrodudenoscopy and biopsy for various upper gastrointestinal symptoms from 1st of January 2015 to 30th of June 2017 were reviewed for presence of H. pylori infection, demographics, indications for gastrodudenoscopy, and histopathology findings. T-test, Chi-square test, and Fisher exact test were applied. Results: Two hundred fifty six patients (135 male and 121 female) with a mean age of 47 (SD = 16.5) underwent gastroscopic biopsy and had an overall H. pylori prevalence of 24.6%. H. pylori infection was most commonly noted between 41 to 60 years of age. Gender did not seem to be significantly associated (p = 0.82) but gastrointestinal bleed was significantly associated with H. pylori infection (p = 0.006). The most common histopathological diagnosis was gastritis followed by gastrodudenitis; however, none of the diagnosis were found to be significantly associated with H. pylori infection. Conclusion: The overall prevalence of H. pylori infection was 24.6% and was most common between 40 to 60 years of age. Heart burn was the most common symptom and gastrointestinal bleed was the only significantly associated symptom with H. pylori infection.

“…Positive history of peptic ulcer (PU) was present among 57.4% of H pylori positive cases (Table 1). Similarly, Tarkhashvili, 2009 detected that H pylori was present in 58% of patients who had peptic ulcer in Republic of Georgia. While Vu and Ng, 2000 in their work on the prevalence of H pylori in peptic ulcer disease in a Singapore hospital, detected a high prevalence H pylori as it was 67.9% among of gastric ulcer patients, 85.1% among duodenal ulcer cases and 85.7% in combined gastric and duodenal ulcer patients.…”

Introduction: Helicobacter pylori (H pylori) is a gram negative spirally shaped bacterium. It is known to be the most common cause of dyspepsia especially in developing countries as Egypt. Aim of work: To identify the prevalence of H pylori among patients with dyspepsia especially farmers and the infection risk factors. Materials and methods: This is a hospital based cross-sectional study conducted on 152 patients (78 farmers and 74 non-farmers) with dyspepsia among those admitted to Gastrointestinal (GI) Endoscopy Unit at Menoufia University hospital, Menoufia, Egypt. They were recruited to this study from 1 st September 2017 to the end of May 2018. Designed questionnaire, clinical examination, esophago-gastro-duodenoscopy (EGD) and histopathological evaluation were conducted to the studied patients. Results: The overall prevalence rate of H pylori among dyspeptic patients in the current study was (73.7%) and significantly higher among low levels of education (28.6%), female gender (69.6%), farmers occupation (57.1%), low socioeconomic status (28.6%), who consume tap water for drinking (76.8%) and unwashed vegetables (73.2%). Epigastric pain was more common in patients with H pylori (P <0.001). Also, acid reflux, morning vomiting and upper abdominal distention were significantly more prevalent among H pylori positive cases. About (82.1%) of farmers were significantly positively infected than non-farmers (64.9%). Illiterate female farmers who didn't wash vegetables and with history of peptic ulcers were more susceptible of infection. Conclusion: Farmers occupation was at risk of H pylori infection than non-farmers. Illiteracy, bad sanitation and low hygienic standard were the risk factors of infection. Health education and environmental sanitation are recommended to lower the prevalence of H pylori especially among farmers.

Dyspepsia is complex disturbance of gastrointestinal tract leading to certain discomfort, in particular, stomach ache and then to such complications as gastritis, stomach ulcer and stomach cancer. Frequently these complications are related to the infection caused by Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori). The aim of our study was to investigate the characteristic and source of the prevalence of Helicobacter infection in some regions of Georgia, the frequency of H. pylori and dyspepsia caused by it in some patients and volunteers. Subjects: patients' descriptive study in policlinics, volunteer fishermen who fish in the river Mtkvari, Gardabani municipality agricultural workers who use the river Mtkvari water to irrigate. Materials: The river Vere water sample (Vere ravine-Gachiani bridge) and the river Mtkvari (Rustavi-Gardabani areas) water sample, population questionnaires.
