“…The overall feco-prevalence of H. pylori infection in this study was 51.1%. It is in line with findings from Hosaena town of southeast Ethiopia (51.4%) [ 47 ], Uganda (47.7%) [ 48 ], Bekoji (southeast Ethiopia) (47.7%) [ 13 ], Egypt (53.1%) [ 49 ], Iraq (54%) [ 50 ], and Nigeria (55%) [ 51 ]. It was lower than studies conducted in Sudan (70%) [ 26 ], Sekota (northeast Ethiopia) (64.8%) [ 52 ], and Pakistan (66.66%) [ 53 ].…”

Background. Most gastric cancers in the world are attributed to Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infections. The prevalence of H. pylori infection is influenced by socioeconomic status, hygiene, and lifestyle of the population. This study aimed to assess sero- and feco-prevalence of H. pylori infections and its associated risk factors among adult dyspeptic patients visiting the outpatient department of Adet Primary Hospital, Yilmana Densa District, northwest Ethiopia. Methods. A hospital-based cross-sectional study was conducted from February 10, 2022 to April 10, 2022. The study participants were selected using a systematic random sampling technique. The data were collected by pretested questionnaires. Blood and stool specimens were collected from each patient for antibody and H. pylori antigen tests, respectively. The data were analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) version 26.0. A logistic regression model was used to assess the strength of association between H. pylori positivity and risk factors. Results. The sero- and feco-prevalence of H. pylori infection was 62% and 51.1%, respectively. In those patients who had a positive result with either the antibody (Ab) or antigen (Ag) test, rural residence (AOR = 5.55; 95% CI: 2.34–13.14; p < 0.001 ), alcohol consumption (AOR = 12.34; 95% CI: 2.29–66.51; p = 0.003 ), having no awareness about H. pylori transmission (AOR = 4.76; 95% CI: 1.86–12.15; p = 0.001 ), using pond/river as a source of drinking water (AOR = 5.22; 95% CI: 1.91–14.27; p = 0.001 ), and open field defecation (AOR = 4.19; 95% CI: 1.67–10.52; p = 0.002 ) were the explanatory risk factors significantly associated with H. pylori infection. Conclusion. This study showed that the prevalence of H. pylori infection was very high. Most cases of gastric cancers are ascribed to H. pylori infection. Therefore, education should be given to communities so as to increase their awareness of the infection and the associated major explanatory risk factors identified in the present study.

“…The study prevalence was also lower than that executed in urban areas of other developing countries: 81.7% in Nigeria [ 28 ], 53.0% in Egypt [ 13 ], 64.39% in Cameroon [ 15 ], and 46.2% in Nairobi [ 29 ]. However, all these studies were carried out in the hospital setting, and others used endoscopy which is a different technique from the stool antigen test used in this study.…”

Background. Helicobacter pylori (HP) infection is extremely common worldwide, with almost half of the world’s population infected. In Uganda, no study has been done on the trends of the prevalence of H. pylori infection in the affluent population. Therefore, this retrospective cross-sectional study aimed at determining the trend of H. pylori prevalence among affluent patients presenting with gastrointestinal (GIT) symptoms whose stool samples were tested at selected AAR clinics in Kampala area. Patients were tested for Helicobacter pylori infection using the stool antigen test between January 2015 and December 2019. Results. The overall 5-year H. pylori prevalence was 35.7% (1298/3634). The prevalence was higher in males (36.0% (736/2044)) than in females (35.4% (562/1590)), although not statistically significant (OR = 0.97, p = 0.680, 95% CI: 0.84–1.11). The prevalence of H. pylori infection was significantly higher (39.4%) among patients who belonged to the age group of 19–35 years (OR = 1.49, p < 0.001 , 95% CI: 1.22–1.82). The prevalence for H. pylori among the age group of 19–35, the most productive age, could be attributed to work-related factors such as stress. The highest prevalence (43.4%) was recorded in 2018 and the lowest (21.4%) in 2015; however, the trend of H. pylori infection in the 5 years was fluctuating. Conclusion. H. pylori infestation is a preserve of not only the poor but also the elites. Stressful factors, especially in the age group of 19–35 years, should be appropriately managed.

“…The seroprevalence value we found in the present study correlates with the results of other studies conducted in developing countries in Africa and other continents. A seroprevalence of 51.5% and 60.1% was reported in Cameroon [1,11], 62.4% in the Democratic Republic of Congo [17], 50.6% in South Africa [18], 53.0% in Egypt [19], 68% in Turkey [20], 58% in Guatemala [21], 61% in Saudi Arabia [22], 42.6% in Kuwait [23], 54.4 to 85% in South Korea [24] 83.5% in Iran [25], and 63.4% in Brazil [26] was found in these countries. The resemblances in the reported seroprevalence values and that reported in our study might be attributed to the similar socioeconomic status and life style practices among the study subjects in these countries.…”

Background: Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection is highly prevalent globally and half of the world's population are carrying the pathogen with infection rates higher in low and middle-income countries. The study aim was to retrospectively determine the seroprevalence trend of H. pylori infection among patients suspected to have dyspepsia and identify socio-demographic determinants for H. pylori seropositivity. Methods: This retrospective study was conducted at the State Specialist Hospital, Gombe, Nigeria from January 2015 to December 2019. A total of 11,935 patients were included in the study and lateral flow immunochromatographic immuno assay was used to screen for total anti H. pylori antibodies. Results: The overall sero-prevalence of H. pylori infection was 58.9%. There was significant association between H. pylori seroprevalence rate and age of subjects, (χ 2 =20.86; p<0.001). The study subjects between the age group 31-40 years had the highest seroprevalence, 62.3%. The seroprevalence of H. pylori was associated with sex of subjects (χ 2 =39.73; p<0.0001). The seroprevalence trend of H. pylori was highest in 2016 with 61%, followed by 2019 (60.8%), then 2017 (59.3%), 2018 (54.7%) and least in 2015 (50.5%). Conclusion: Findings from the study showed a steady rise in the seroprevalence of H. pylori infection over the five years of study. Furthermore, H pylori infection appears to be higher among adults in their most productive years. Based on these, it is needful to develop strategies for eradication of the infection, encourage health education by creating awareness towards improving environmental and household sanitation, water, personal and food hygiene.
