Pylori Infection in Non-Cirrhotic Patients with Chronic Delta Hepatitis: Helicobacter Pylori Prevelance in Delta Hepatitis}, volume={9}, url={https://medscidiscovery.com/index.php/msd/article/view/658}, DOI={10.36472/msd.v9i1.658}, abstractNote={<p><strong>Objective:</strong> The relationship between <em>Hepatitis Delta</em> infection and <em>Helicobacter</em> infection in patients with non-cirrhotic hepatitis B infection was retrospectively investigated.</p> <p><strong>Material and Methods:</strong> Stool samples of 117 patients included with Delta hepatitis infection in the study At total 36 of them were tested for <em>H. Pylori</em> infection. To detect  <em>H. Pylori</em>, stool samples were tested using a commercial stool <em>H. Pylori</em> antigen assay.</p> <p><strong>Results:</strong> Of these, 13 (19%) patients had <em>H. Pylori</em> seropositivity in the Hepatitis B infection group and 23 (48%) patients tested positive for H. Pylori infection in hepatitis delta infection group. There was a statistically significant difference between groups regarding <em>H. Pylori</em> seropositivity by the faecal test (p= 0.001).</p> <p><strong>Conclusion:</strong> This study provides new knowledge on <em>H. Pylori</em> infection and reflects the need for evidence-based and comorbid dieases-oriented guidelines in the field of gastroenterology.</p>}, number={1}, journal={Medical Science and Discovery}, author={Özbaş, Hasan Mücahit and Dülger, Ahmet Cumhur and Tuncel, Elif Tugba and Aksoy, İskender and Yakarışık, Mustafa and Şimşek, Merih and Aydin, Mesut}, year={2022}, month={Jan.}, pages={29–33} }
