The significance of selected epidemiologico-clinical factors in the prevalence of the Helicobacter pylori infection in young males.

A serological diagnosis (ELISA test) was carried out of infections by Helicobacter pylori in 1200 young males (recruits in the Polish Army) and the influence of selected epidemiologico-clinical factors (civil status, place of residence, profession, economical conditions, tobacco smoking, consumption of alcohol, diseases of the parodontonium, nutritional habits) on the prevalence of the infection was studied. Specific antibodies were detected in 228 (19%) of the persons tested. Of the eight factors analyzed, only three parodontium diseases, tobacco smoking and place of residence (of decreasing importance in that order), had a statistically significant relationship to infection by Helicobacter pylori in young males.

The relationship between the frequency of the appearance of IgG against Helicobacter pylori and the main blood groups among patients with ulcer sickness and stomach cancer.

Among the 763 patients with ulcers and stomach cancer, including the control group of 586 blood donors, the search for a relationship between the spread of infection and the main blood groups was defined by the appearance of IgG against H. pylori in blood plasma (the ELISA test). The statistical analysis, however, did not prove that the frequency of the appearance of specific antibodies against H. pylori was statistically important in relation to the ABO blood groups.

[Coexistence of infection of the oral cavity and stomach and duodenal mucosa with Helicobacter pylori in patients with ulcer and chronic gastritis].

In a group of 260 patients with a peptic ulcer of the stomach or the duodenum and/or chronic gastritis, bacteriological tests were conducted aiming at the detection of Helicobacter pylori in the mucosa of the stomach and the duodenum and in the gingival pockets. The presence of the infection of the mucosa of the stomach and/or of the duodenum was confirmed in 197 patients (75.8%). In this group of patients the bacteria occurred simultaneously in the oral cavity in 77 (39.1%) patients. It was found that the frequency of coexistence of Helicobacter pylori infection in the gingival pockets with an infected gastric or duodenal ulcer was not statistically significant. However, there was a statistically significant correlation between the frequency of Helicobacter pylori infection in the oral cavity (83.3%) and the simultaneous occurrence of extensive infection of the gastric mucosa.
