“…Comparing the results of the present study to those of previous studies performed to screen for H. pylori infection specifically among asymptomatic university students; nearly similar percentages were reported among Nigerian university students: 54% (Ishaleku and Ihiabe, 2010) and among Irish ones: 59% (Sheehan et al, 2004). Lower prevalence rates were reported among the same sector in Brazil: 23.4% (Melo et al, 2003) and Saudi Arabia: 35% (Almadhi et al, 2007). A higher prevalence rate of 71% was reported among Ethiopian university students (Alebie and Kaba, 2016).…”

“…In populations with precarious SES, resident in urban and rural areas, the prevalence of infection may reach 70% of children at 5 years of age, reaching over 80% of individuals after the age of 20. Moreover, the improvement in the population's living conditions, characterized by higher household income, higher level of education and adequate health services, provides an impact on the prevalence of H pylori infection, with a drop in the prevalence of H pylori infection (1,32,103,108,138,170,183,202,212) .…”

Significant progress has been obtained since the Second Brazilian Consensus Conference on Helicobacter pylori Infection held in 2004, in São Paulo, SP, Brazil, and justify a third meeting to establish updated guidelines on the current management of H. pylori infection. The Third Brazilian Consensus Conference on H pylori Infection was organized by the Brazilian Nucleus for the Study of Helicobacter, a Department of the Brazilian Federation of Gastroenterology and took place on April 12-15, 2011, in Bento Gonçalves, RS, Brazil. Thirty-one delegates coming from the five Brazilian regions and one international guest, including gastroenterologists, pathologists, epidemiologists, and pediatricians undertook the meeting. The participants were allocated in one of the five main topics of the meeting: H pylori, functional dyspepsia and diagnosis; H pylori and gastric cancer; H pylori and other associated disorders; H pylori treatment and retreatment; and, epidemiology of H pylori infection in Brazil. The results of each subgroup were submitted to a final consensus voting to all participants. Relevant data were presented, and the quality of evidence, strength of recommendation, and level of consensus were graded. Seventy per cent and more votes were considered as acceptance for the final statement. This article presents the main recommendations and conclusions to guide Brazilian doctors involved in the management of H pylori infection.

“…En estudiantes universitarios de países desarrollados se han reportado resultados contradictorios en la prevalencia de H. pylori, dando cifras mucho mayores (21,30) o por el contrario muy bajas (20,(31)(32)(33)(34) berse al tipo de población estudiada, ya que respecto a estudiantes del área de la salud existen datos muy similares, comunicando prevalencias de 25 hasta 38,6% (19,35,36). La elevada prevalencia mundial de infección por H. pylori, aunado a la insuficiente evidencia de sus rutas de contaminación, han dado lugar al estudio de diversos grupos sociales y de sus núcleos familiares ante la posibilidad de que esta sea la fuente de infección principal, adjudicando por lo tanto, al contacto estrecho entre sus miembros como una posible vía de contaminación; esto se ha hecho patente en algunos estudios realizados en niños y sus familias donde se ha encontrado esta asociación desde el punto de vista epidemiológico y molecular (4,10,16).…”

“…La infección por H. pylori se ha asociado con la presencia de niveles socioeconómicos y educativos bajos, con la edad, el hacinamiento y el contacto estrecho entre las personas (14,15) (sobre todo en el núcleo familiar), convivencia en orfanatos y hospitales psiquiátricos, así como un mayor predominio en sujetos originarios de paí-ses en desarrollo (10), alcanzando seroprevalencias de 50 a 70% de la población general (16)(17)(18), y de 10 a 51,7% en población estudiantil universitaria (19)(20)(21).…”

INTRODUCCIÓNDesde 1983 en que el Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) fue aislado con éxito (1), ha sido el bacilo más estudiado en el mundo, revolucionando el enfoque clínico y fisiopatológico de las enfermedades gastroduodenales (2). Se ha encontrado el H. pylori en el 70 a 80% de los casos de gastritis y hasta en el 100% de los casos de úlcera péptica (eliminando los casos por antiinflamatorios no esteroideos y Zollinger-Ellison) (3). Seropositividad a ABSTRACTObjective: to associate serologic response to Helicobacter pylori (Hp) among seropositive university students and their families in western Mexico.Methods: we conducted a comparative transversal study, and randomized 30 nuclear families of 14 Hp-seropositive university students and 14 Hp-seronegative university students. We carried out seropositivity measurements (IgG) to Hp using the ELISA method. An analysis was performed utilizing the chi-squared and Mann-Whitney U tests, with the aid of EPI INFO 2000 and SIG-MA STAT 3.2 software.Results: global seropositivity in the families of infected students was 57 vs. 13% of the relatives of non-infected students (p = 0.000002). In families of Hp-positive students we found the following frequencies: parental (father and mother) 70%; mother 71%, and siblings 42%, while for seronegative individuals incidences were: parental 17% (p = 0.00005), mother 12% (p = 0.001), and siblings 10% (p = 0.0076).Conclusions: there is a greater prevalence of antibodies against Hp in the relatives of seropositive students.

Seroprevalence of Helicobacter pylori Antibodies in Medical Students and Residents in Recife, Brazil

Abstract: The seroprevalence rate of Hp antibodies amongst medical students and residents increases from the basic up to residence level, suggesting that contact with patients during clinical practice may constitute a risk factor for acquiring Hp infection.
