“…sickle cell anaemia, and in part by the fact that some series only dealt with out-patient referrals. Amongst other less common diseases not listed in our series, but noted in the literature with reference to the differential diagnosis of rheumatic fever, are cat scratch fever (Lyon, 1956); meningococcaemia (Daniels, 1948); miliary tuberculosis (Freud, Weisz and Brunhofer, 1950); ascariasis (Doumer, Lorriaux and Belbenoit, 1951); juvenile hyperparathyroidism (Bogdonoff, Woods, White and Engel, 1956); Weber Christian panniculitis (Brudno, 1950); Hodgkin's disease (Paquet and Delage, 1957); berylliosis (Sprague and Hardy, 1954), sarcoidosis (Myers, Gottlieb, Mattman, Eckley and Chason, 1952); hepatitis (Martini, 1950), and irritable hip syndrome (Caravias, 1956). This last interesting entity has also been noted here.…”

It has been hypothesized that Helicobacter pylori (Hp) infection may contribute to reduced stature, risk of hypertension or obesity. The aim was to evaluate body indices in Hp positive and negative persons. A total of 2436 subjects (4-100 years old) were tested for Hp status by 13 C-urea breath test. Data on height and weight were collected for 84%, and blood pressure for 80% of the study subjects. The prevalence of Hp infection was 41.6%. The odds ratio for a 10-year increase in age was 1.21 (95% CI 1.17-1.25, p-value <0.001). Statistically significant negative association of Hp positivity with body height was most pronounced in the younger age groups, while a positive association of Hp positivity with body mass index was only seen in those aged 15+ years. There was a negative effect of Hp positivity on systolic and diastolic blood pressure in subjects below 25 and a relatively strong positive effect on blood pressure in subjects over 65 years. Residual confounding by social characteristics as a possible explanation for the associations of Hp positivity with height and blood pressure cannot be excluded. Unmeasured factors related to social and family environment may cause the apparent association between Hp positivity and children's growth and blood pressure.
