“…In this study, the prevalence of infection in pregnant women was estimated separately for the 5 continents as follows Europe (25%), Asia (44%), Africa (50%), America (51%) and South America (62%). What is clear from the results, the prevalence of these infections is higher in developing countries such as South America countries compared to developed countries such as European countries, which is also shown in the study of Bures et al (33).…”

“…Diagnosis of H. pylori infection includes 1) invasive techniques (requiring endoscopy) such as rapid urease test, culture, and histology, and 2) non-invasive methods such as serology, urea breath test (UBT) and stool antigen test (33). Invasive methods due to ethical issues and UBT because of the use of radioactive materials, are prohibited in pregnancy (35).…”

Objectives: Pregnant women are among the most vulnerable groups for Helicobacter pylori infection. The infection may cause nausea, vomiting, anemia, fetal growth restriction, fetal anomalies and low birth weight of infants. H. pylori prevalence during pregnancy is vary widely between different geographical regions and given the importance of this infection in pregnancy, systematic review and meta-analysis has been done. Materials and Methods:The current study has been conducted based on PRISMA guideline. The time interval of the investigated studies was from the beginning of 2000 until March 2016. In order to achieve the related literature, databases sources such as Scopus, PubMed, Science Direct, Cochrane, Embase, Springer, Wiley online library, as well as Google Scholar search engine was used. The search was done using Mesh keywords. Furthermore, all the articles that met the inclusion criteria were evaluated. The data has been analyzed using the random-effects models for meta-analysis and the Stata 11.1. Results: In 24 studies, a total of 19426 pregnant women had been investigated. The worldwide prevalence of H. pylori infection in pregnant women was calculated to be 46% (95% CI: 38-54). The lowest prevalence of H. pylori infection was seen in Europe, 25% (95% CI: 9-40) and the highest prevalence in South America 62% (95% CI: 53-71 IntroductionThroughout the history of the world, the ones who had confronted the bitterest face of poverty and war had always been the women. As known poverty and war affects human health either directly or indirectly, the effects of this condition on health and status of women in the society should not be ignored. This study intends to cast light on the effects of war and poverty on the reproductive health of women. For this purpose, the face of war affecting the women, the problem of immigration, inequalities in distribution of income based on gender and the effects of all these on the reproductive health of women will be addressed.

Background: H. pylori is commonly incriminated in most cases of epigastric discomfort and stomach cancer. Aim: The study determined the prevalence of H. pylori infection among patients visiting out patient's clinic. Methodology: Two hundred patients with age range 10-50 years attending clinics were recruited for the study and screened for H. Pylori infection. Ethical approval was obtained from the Ethics Committee of 4 different hospitals in Johannesburg as well as informed consent of the participants. Blood and Stool samples and breath from the Nostril were used for the investigation. Serological, Cultural and Urea Breath Test were methods used for assessment of the Blood, Stool and Expels respectively. Values obtained were statistically analyzed. Results: Seventy four (37%) patients tested positive to H. Pylori. Males had 47% positive cases while female were 53%. 66% of the black race tested positive while the white were 34%. Alcohol and Cigarette Consumers who tested positive were 29 (39%) and 26(35%) respectively. Hand washing after visiting toilet is 10(14%) and hand washing before meal is 9 (12%). Conclusion: The findings of this study showed that age, sex, race and some food substances consuming may predispose to H. prlori infection.

“…H.pylori infection varies greatly worldwide, with infection rates of more than 80% in some developing countries and below 20% in some developed countries [28][29]. In general, the frequency rate of H.pylori infection varies from 10% to 90%, depending on the age, geographic location, and socioeconomic status of the population [30][31].…”

Helicobacteriosis is a bacterial infection caused by Helicobacter pylori (H.pylori)(HP). which was discovered in 1982 by Australian scientists Barry Marshall and Robin Warren, who were later awarded the Nobel Prize in 2005.Epidemiological evidence has shown that H.pylori colonizes the upper gastrointestinal tract(GIT), and the infection is one of the most common human bacterial pathogens worldwide, with 4.4 billion infected individuals in 2015, but the prevalence varies according to situation and hygiene principles. Since this first isolation, it has become apparent that this organism may be one of the most common bacterial pathogens of humans, and it is one of the risk factors for adenocarcinoma. Thus, it was categorized as a group 1 carcinogen in 1994 by the World Health Organization (WHO). New infections with H.pylori are thought to occur as a consequence of direct human-to-human transmission, via either an oral-oral or fecal-oral route or both. H.pylori has been detected in stool, saliva, vomitus, and gastric refluxate, the material that has been subject to reflux, principally stomach acid that has leaked up into the esophagus. Clinically, H. pylori infection in humans is related to chronic gastritis, peptic ulceration, duodenal ulcer, and gastric cancer in addition to mucosa-associated lymphoid malignancies.According to the World Health Organization (WHO) estimates available at that time, it was supposed that about 4.4 billion infected individuals in 2015 were infected with H. pylori. These estimations can vary and are subject to change over time as recent investigations and information become obtainable. The prevalence of H. pylori is complex and affected by several factors, comprising age, clinical outcomes, geographical location, and socioeconomic status. A higher incidence was reported in unhygienic and economically poor areas; the rate of H. pylori infection in Africa, South America, and Asia was significantly higher than that in Western Europe, North America, and Australia. However, the disease spectrum of H. pylori infection shows a wide range of clinical aspects, including gastrointestinal diseases and extra gastric manifestations. In this review, we have described the general scope of these diseases.
