“…This study found that patients with O blood group were more susceptible to H. pylori infection and AB blood group was less prone to infection. This results was consistent with other studies that condacted in Ethiopia and Nigeria [43], [24], and contrary to some previous studies that performed in Egypt and Erbil-Iraq explaining that the O blood group did not act as a risk factor for H. pylori infection [41], [36]. The higher susceptibility of O blood group individuals to H. pylori infection is most probably due to the higher frequency of secretor status in O blood group individuals or may be due to the H antigen represents an important receptor expressed in Vol.18.Issue 1,April 2020…”

Background: More than half of the world's population is influenced by Helicobacter pylori infection. The infection is commonly obtained during childhood but may stay asymptomatic, with long-term clinical consequences such as gastritis, peptic ulcer illness, and stomach cancer. Objective: To determine the prevalence rate of Helicobacter pylori infection and related variables such as age, gender, residency, blood group, Rhesus factors and previous infection among patients presenting with gastroduodenal disorders in Erbil city. Patients and Methods: Out of 240 blood samples from patients with gastroduodenal disorders admitted to Rzgary Teaching Hospital in Erbil, Iraq from July to August 2019 were collected and screened for anti-Helicobacter pylori antibodies by rapid immunochromatographic assay, and blood groups of patients were determined by using hemagglutination test. For each study subject, a questionnaire sheet was prepared and used. Results: The overall prevalence rate of Helicobacter pylori infection among 240 patients with gastroduodenal disorders was 128 (53.3%). A significant relationship between Helicobacter pylori infection and gender (male 43.75% and female 59.72%) was recorded (P<0.05). The highest rate of Helicobacter pylori infection was founded among the age group over 50 years, but there were no significant differences between them (P>0.05). Prevalence was significantly higher among rural areas (60.4%) than the urban areas (48.6%) (P<0.05). There was a significant association between Helicobacter pylori infection and ABO blood group phenotypes (P<0.05), but there is no significant association between Helicobacter pylori infection and the type of Rhesus factor (P>0.05). Prevalence was significantly higher among the previous infection (78.5%) than non-previous infection (23.6%) (P<0.05). Conclusion: We found that in Erbil city, the seropositivity of anti-Helicobacter pylori antibody was high among patients with the gastroduodenal disorder. The high prevalence of Helicobacter pylori was founded in the women, elderly, rural area, O blood group, positive Rhesus factor and patients with the previous infection.

“…The greatest prevalence (34.44%) of H. pylori infection showed among patients aged 21-30 years, whereas the lowest rate (20.83%) was happened in patients <20 years. This result agreed to other studies conducted in Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Diyala-Iraq, Erbil-Iraq, and Nigeria (Karima et al, 2006;Hwaid et al, 2013;Haggag et al, 2016;Muhemmed and Mohammed, 2016;Samson et al, 2018), and it is differed from other prior studies that revealed great prevalence rate of H. pylori infection generally recorded in more than 40 years (Hussen et al, 2013;Tawfeeq et al, 2013;Jaka et al, 2016). The differences between the present results and results of the other studies may be due to the nutrition status of the patients, socioeconomic status, inadequate sanitation, water supply, and environment condition (Al-Mossawei et al, 2016).…”

“…This study revealed that patients with O blood group were higher prone to infection and AB blood group lower to infection. This result was corresponding to other studies that manifesting the greater sensitivity of O blood group to H. pylori infection (Tdege et al, 2005;Abdulridha, 2013;Reiisi et al, 2017;Christian et al, 2018) and opposed with some former studies which explained that the O blood group did not act as a risk factor for H. pylori infection (Zhubi et al, 2011;Shaldoum, 2015;Muhemmed and Mohammed, 2016).…”

Helicobacter pylori is a significant pathogen of the gastrointestinal tract infection connected with gastritis, peptic ulcers, and gastric carcinoma. Its infection influence more than half of the world’s inhabitants. This study aims to reveal the prevalence rate of H. pylori infection among patients with gastroenteritis and to investigate the risk factors such as age, gender, residency, blood group and rhesus factors related to this infection in Erbil city. Of 300 stool specimens from patients presenting with gastroenteritis who were admitted to Rizgary Teaching Hospital, Erbil, Iraq, from September 2018 to February 2019 were collected and screened for the presence of H. pylori antigens using rapid immunochromatographic assay (Camp Medica Group, Bucharest, Romania). A questionnaire sheet was prepared and used for each study subject. Of 300 samples examined, H. pylori were detected in 79 samples (26.33%). The highest rate of H. pylori infection was founded among the age group 21–30 years, but there were no significant differences between them (P > 0.05). A significant relationship between H. pylori infection and gender (male 19.05% and female 33.33%) was recorded (P < 0.05). There was a significant association between H. pylori infection and ABO blood group among patients (P < 0.05), but there is no significant association between H. pylori infection and the type of rhesus factor (P > 0.05) that H. pylori infection was higher in rhesus factor negative compared to rhesus factor positive. The prevalence was significantly higher among rural area (55.56%) than urban area (23.44%) (P < 0.05). We concluded that the spread of H. pylori positive rate was high among patients with gastroenteritis in Erbil city. The great prevalence of H. pylori was founded in the patients with O blood group, urban area, and females. There was no significant association between H. pylori infection and age groups and rhesus factor.

“…Acute urticaria occurs days to weeks, producing wheals that rarely may last more than 12 hours, and complete resolution of the lesions may occur within six weeks of onset. In comparison, daily episodes lasting more than six weeks are designated as CU [ 3 ]. Both children and adults can develop urticaria, although it is more common in adults, and females are more affected than males [ 4 ].…”

Background. Chronic urticaria (CU) is a common skin disease; however, its etiology is rarely recognized. Infection due to Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) has been shown in some studies to play a significant role in the pathogenesis of CU. Objective. This study was conducted to determine the association between CU and H. pylori infection among patients attending the Regional Dermatology Training Center, Northern Tanzania, from October 2018 to April 2019. Methodology. A matched case-control study that included 55 cases and 55 controls matched by age and sex was conducted. Data were collected through direct interviews, and the results of laboratory investigations were recorded in the extraction sheet. An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay test was used to detect H. pylori antigen in the stool samples. Conditional logistic regression was used to measure the association between CU and H. pylori. Results. The total number of participants in this study was 110 patients (55 cases and 55 controls), whereby the median age was 31 (IQR 27–45) among controls versus 34 (IQR: 22–46) years among the cases. Both cases and controls had the same number of females and males. There was no significant association between CU and baseline characteristics of the participants. There was an association between CU and H. pylori infection, such that subjects with CU had a higher number of positive H. pylori test (15/55 = 27%) versus controls (6/55 = 10.1%) (p=0.0225). The adjusted odds of CU among patients who were positive for H. pylori were sixfolds higher (OR = 6.9; CI: 1.3–36.2; p=0.021) than those of patients who were negative for H. pylori.Conclusion. There was a strong and significant association between CU and H. pylori infection. We recommend investigating for H. pylori in all cases of CU and conducting further trials on H. pylori eradication.
