“…H. pylori infection rate detected by urea breath test was found to be 78% and 82% for men and women respectively 13 . In another study done by Marusic, there was also female predominance with H. pylori positive males about 670 (47.8%) and H. pylori positive female about 730 (52.2%) 14 . In our study, we found that H. pylori infection was also predominant in female patients because H. pylori positive females constituted 70.8% of the total H pylori positive patients; autoimmune diseases are known to be more common in females.…”

Background: The cause of autoimmune disease is not well-known; it is suggested that environmental, viral and bacterial factors might trigger the immune system. It was found that about 50% of the western and over 80% individuals in the developing countries are infected with Helicobacter pylori, a gram negative flagellated bacterium Because of its ability to induce chronic immune response in the host, it has been suggested that H. pylori has a role in the development and aggravation of autoimmune diseases. Objective: To evaluate the relation between H. pylori infection and the severity of rheumatoid arthritis. Method: Hundred rheumatoid arthritis patients were tested for the presence of H. pylori infection using urea breath test, and were evaluated for the severity of rheumatoid arthritis using DAS 28/ESR, as well as the levels of ESR and C-reactive protein (CRP). Results: There was no significant difference either clinically or laboratory between H. pylori positive and H. pylori negative patients in rheumatoid activity except in CRP. Conclusion: There was no relation between H. pylori infection and rheumatoid arthritis activity.

The prevalence of overweight and obesity is increasing worldwide. Obesity and overweight are caused by several factors, including genetic, metabolic, behavioral and environmental. The increasing prevalence suggests that behavioral and environmental influences play a predominant role, rather than biological changes 1. There are also associations between obesity and several diseases, including diabetes mellitus, hypertension, dyslipidemia, and ischemic heart disease. In addition, higher degrees of obesity (BMI≥35 kg/m 2) are linked to higher mortality rates 1. Although medical programs favor non-surgical methods for weight loss, bariatric surgery is widely accepted as the only known effective treatment for morbid obesity 2. H. pylori are a microaerophilic, gram-negative organisms that leads to many gastroduodenal diseases such as chronic gastritis, peptic ulcer disease, mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma (MALT) and gastric cancer. H. pylori are found to be involved with other system affections, such as cardiovascular,
