Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2017, Vol 16, Issue 6
Abstract
Background:Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is a type of bacteria responsible for widespread infections. Iron enters the stomach from the esophagus. Iron is oxidized to theFe3+state no matter its original from when taken in orally.H.pylori infection may disturbs some function of mucosa and leads to decrease in iron absorption. Objective: The purpose of this study was todetermine the association of Helicobacter pylori infection and Serum Ferritin levels. Materials and Methods:One hundred and twenty samples were included (60 samples of H.pylori infected individuals and 60 samples of healthy individuals to be used as control) all of them were evaluated to determine serum ferritin levels. H.Pylori of the study participants was determined by using an immunochromatographic rabid test for the qualitative detection of H,pylori in human serum. Results:there were no significant differences in the haematological values and s.ferritinlevel between the study group and controls. Conclusion:The findings indicate that there was no association between H.Pylori and serum Ferritin.
