“…[3][4][5] Similarly, it is well documented that H. pylori prevalence rates are falling in the developed world. [6][7][8][9][10][11] The prevalence of a condition affects test performance for given sensitivity and specificity values. To optimize test performance, disease prevalence should be incorporated in testing decisions, and sensitivity and specificity should be set locally, not globally.…”

“…Helicobacter infections in children are acquired early in life, mainly via oral–fecal contact. In the Netherlands, the prevalence of H. pylori in children is very low (1.2%); most infected children are offspring of non-Dutch parents like our patient [13]. Our patient had a double infection, which may be coincidental but could also be based on his Iranian background.…”

We describe a 15-year-old patient with X-linked agammaglobulinemia who developed malabsorption and bacteremia due to infection of Helicobacter pylori and Campylobacter jejuni. The Campylobacter bacteremia was only recognized after subculturing of blood culture bottles that failed to signal in the automated system. After 2 weeks of treatment with meropenem and erythromycin for 4 weeks, the patient developed a relapse of bacteremia 10 months later with a high level erythromycin resistant C. jejuni. Sequencing revealed an A2058C mutation in the 23 S rRNA gene associated with this resistance. Treatment with doxycycline for 4 weeks finally resulted in complete eradication. This case report illustrates the importance for physicians to use adapted culture methods and adequate prolonged therapy in patients with an immunodeficiency. A summary of published case reports and series of patients with hypogammaglobulinemia or agammaglobulinemia with Campylobacter or Helicobacter bacteremia is given.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (doi:10.1007/s10096-010-0999-7) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.

“…Hp has evolved numerous strategies to enable its survival and persistence within the gastric mucosa including Several studies have shown that the prevalence of Hp infection is decreasing in adults and children in many countries [16,17]. This is attributed to improvement in socioeconomic status (number of family members per household, siblings sharing a bed, bathing facilities) and possibly antibiotic use.…”

Background: Several studies showed an involvement of the gastric mucosa in celiac disease (CD). Helicobacter pylori (Hp) is the major agent of gastric damage. The aim of this article was to present a literature review of a possible correlation between the two conditions. Methods: A literature search was conducted in Medline, Scopus and Directory of Open Access Journal (DOAJ) using appropriate keywords. We included only articles written in English over the period July 1996 -May 2014. Results: The search for Medline, Scopus and DOAJ provided a total of 530 citation. Twenty five studies met the inclusion criteria and were included in quantitative analysis. The prevalence of Hp infection in celiac children and adults from different geographical areas has been reported. The possible correlation between Hp infection and the increase of intraepithelial lymphocytes (IEL) has also been reported. Conclusion: Several studies showed a wide heterogeneity. This is probably due to differences in Hp prevalence, small series of patients, lack of histological confirmation of Hp and lack of adjustment for sociodemographic characteristics. More studies to clarify the possible correlation between these two conditions are necessary.

Low prevalence of Helicobacter pylori infection in young children in the Netherlands

Abstract: The prevalence of H. pylori infection in young infants in the general population in The Netherlands is low. Children with at least one non-Dutch parent form a risk group, however, for H. pylori infection in The Netherlands.
