“…The majority of them used Helicobacter pylori immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibody specific serologic tests to identify exposure to Hyperemesis gravidarum. The overall prevalence of seropositivity was between 65.0-91.5% in pregnant women with Hyperemesis gravidarum (3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8). Although some studies suggested a positive association between Hyperemesis gravidarum and Helicobacter pylori seropositivity (5-8), others could not find any association (3,4).…”

Serologic tests cannot differentiate acute and chronic infections of Helicobacter pylori, because seroconversion lasts up to months or years after recovery of the disease (9).…”

“…Thirty-two articles published between 1998 and 2014 met the inclusion criteria and their characteristics were shown in Tables 1 and 2 in detail. In total, thirteen studies found no association between H. pylori infection and the risk of HG [ 12 , 18 , 20 , 26 , 27 , 32 – 34 , 36 , 38 , 41 – 43 ]. However, nineteen researches suggested H. pylori infection during pregnancy might be a risk factor for pregnant women with HG [ 3 – 6 , 16 , 17 , 19 , 21 , 23 – 25 , 28 – 31 , 35 , 37 , 39 , 40 ].…”

Background. Several studies have shown a possible involvement of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection in individuals with hyperemesis gravidarum (HG), but the relationship remains controversial. This meta-analysis was performed to validate and strengthen the association between HG and H. pylori infection. Methods. PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science databases up to March 20, 2014, were searched to select studies on the prevalence of H. pylori infection between pregnant women with HG and the normal pregnant control subjects. Results. Of the HG cases, 1289 (69.6%) were H. pylori-positive; however, 1045 (46.2%) were H. pylori-positive in control group. Compared to the non-HG normal pregnant controls, infection rate of H. pylori was significantly higher in pregnant women with HG (OR = 3.34, 95% CI: 2.32–4.81, P < 0.001). Subgroup analysis indicated that H. pylori infection was a risk factor of HG in Asia, Africa, and Oceania, especially in Africa (OR = 12.38, 95% CI: 7.12–21.54, P < 0.001). Conclusions. H. pylori should be considered one of the risk factors of HG, especially in the developing countries. H. pylori eradication could be considered to relieve the symptoms of HG in some intractable cases.

“…The physiological basis of HG is often reported, most consistently with hormonal changes such as high levels of human chorionic gonadotropin, increased estrogen, progesterone and thyroid hormone levels (Verberg et al 2005 , Ismail and Kenny 2007 ). Some other pathologic factors, such as gastrointestinal dysfunction, hepatic abnormalities, lipid alterations, overactivation of sympathetic nervous system and infection, in addition to endocrine factors of hyperemesis gravidarum may play a role in etiology and pathophysiology of this medical condition (Verberg et al 2005 , Koch 2002 , Ustün et al 2004 , Lee et al 2005 , Niemeijer et al 2014 ). Along with all of these physiological changes, psychosomatic factors may also play a role in this complex and multifactorial condition.…”

Hyperemesis gravidarum (HG) is a condition characterized by severe, intractable nausea and vomiting in early pregnancy. It affects about 0.3–2% of all pregnancies and is thought that HG is a multifactorial disease resulting from the combination of various unrelated conditions such as genetic, hormonal and psychiatric. Although there are studies investigating the relationship between anxiety, depression and HG; however, none have sufficiently clarified this link. The aim of this prospective case–control study was to investigate the possible relationship between depression and HG and compare the prevalence of depression disorders in pregnant women with and without HG.A prospective case–control study was performed at our tertiary referral centre between December 2013 and July 2014. The study group consisted of 78 pregnant women with HG and the control group consisted of 82 healthy pregnant women who never had experienced any nausea and vomiting. No study participants had any pre-pregnancy history of any psychiatric disorder including depression. Structured Clinical Interview for Diagnostic (SCID-I) and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders Fourth Edition (DSM-IV) was used to evaluate symptoms of depression. Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) was administered to patients during the psychiatric interview and was evaluated by the same psychiatrist.The mean BDI scores in HG study and healthy control groups were 18.97 ± 9.85 and 6.36 ± 5.61, respectively (p < 0.001). Among the 78 women in the HG study population, 42 (53.9%) of patients had moderate or severe depression disorder. Only 6.1% of patients in the control group had moderate or severe depression.In conclusion, the findings of this study indicated that psychological distress associated with HG was a direct consequence rather than a cause of HG. Therefore, patients with HG during pregnancy should be evaluated with respect to mood disorders as much as their medical conditions.
