Prevalence of seropositividad to antibodies IgG and IgM against Helicobacter pylori in the medical residents of the University Hospital of Puebla

Abstract:

Background Helicobacter pylori is a gram-negative, curved, microaerophilic, oxidase, catalase and urease positive bacillus. It lives in the gastric mucosa, and is the main etiological agent of peptic ulcer, and of atrophic and multifocal gastritis. It is associated with extraintestinal, vascular, autoimmune and cutaneous diseases. The infection by this bacteria causes a chronic inflammatory process related with the sensibilization of mast cells, which increases the incidence of allergic diseases. Objective To estimate the seropositivity prevalence of IgG and IgM antibodies against Helicobacter pylori in medical resident personnel.
