“…Tobacco use could be another confounding factor, but the data on the relation between H. pylori infection and smoking habits are controversial. The prevalence of H. pylori infection in smokers has been variously reported as low (Ogihara et al 2000), normal (Brenner et al 1997), and high (Parasher and Eastwood 2000). As the relation between smoking and H. pylori infection has not been clarified yet, in all three groups we recruited the nonsmokers in order to eliminate the disturbance of tobacco.…”

“…Fullerton et al (2009) reported lower lung function, i.e., significantly lower Forced Expiratory Volume in one second (FEV 1 ) and Forced Vital Capacity (FVC) values, in men with positive serology for H. pylori as compared to seropositive women. On the other side, controversial results have been reported regarding H. pylori prevalence and smoking (considered as a major risk factor for COPD): Higher, normal and lower seropositivity were stated for smokers (Brenner et al, 1997;Parasher and Eastwood, 2000;Ogihara et al, 2000).…”

There is a recent epidemiologic and serologic evidence for relationship between Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). In order to assess the relationship between H. pylori infection and COPD and its impact on lung function we performed a cross-sectional study including 84 never-smoking male patients with COPD and an equal number of never-smoking males without chronic respiratory disease matched to the COPD patients by age. Evaluation of the study subjects included evaluation of H. pylori serological status, baseline and postbronchodilator spirometry. We found significantly higher H. pylori seropositivity in COPD patients than in controls (76.2 Vs 34.5%, p = 0.041). The prevalence of H. pylori seropositivity did not differ significantly between patients with mild, moderate and severe COPD. Borderline significance was registered for the difference of the forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV 1 ) mean value between seropositive and seronegative COPD patients (56.4 vs. 59.2, p = 0.063). The mean degree of FEV 1 reversibility did not differ significantly between seropositive and seronegative COPD patients. Our findings indicate that in cross-sectional analysis there is higher prevalence of H. pylori seropositivity in COPD than in non-COPD patients, as well as that H. pylori infection has not significant impact on lung function in COPD patients.

“…These can result in progression from gastritis to gastric ulcers and even carcinoma. Smokers appear to be at higher risk of becoming infected with Helicobacter pylori (H pylori) and this increased risk may result from the adverse effects of smoking on antioxidants or the immune system which may interfere with normal protection against H pylori [18][19][20] . Because the infection detected on the balloon was a colonization rather than a systemic infection we recommended appropriate non-specific supportive treatment for the patient.…”

Intragastric balloon therapy, as a part of a multidisciplinary weight management program, is an effective short-term intervention for weight loss. Although the insertion procedure is easy and generally well tolerated by patients, a few complications can occur. We report here a heavy smoker with intragastric balloon insertion complicated by colonization with opportunistic organisms. The 27-year-old female, body mass index 35.5 kg/m 2 , had a BioEnterics ® Intragastric Balloon inserted under conscious sedation without any perioperative complications. Six months later, when the standard removal time arrived, the balloon was seen to be covered with a necrotic white-gray material. Microbiological examination revealed Enterobacter cloacae and Candida species yeast colonies. We recommend that asymptomatic fungal and/or bacterial colonization should be considered among the complications of the intragastric balloon procedure, despite its rarity.
