RUIZ-ALVAREZ, Vladimir; RODRIGUEZ ENRIQUEZ, Yanik e HERNANDEZ-TRIANA, Manuel. Helicobacter pylori infection and diabetes in Cuban adults. Rev Cubana Invest Bioméd [online]. 2006, vol.25, n.1, pp. 0-0. ISSN 1561-3011.
The seroprevalence of IgG antibodies against Helicobacter pylori detected by immunoassay was determined in a case-control study that included 59 patients with diabetes mellitus and 19 healthy individuals from Havana City that were incorporated as a control group. Patients were divided into 3 groups according to recent recruitment, treatment only with diet, or with diet plus hypoglycemic agents. The seroprevalence of anti- Helicobacter pylori antibodies in the groups of diabetic patients was 90, 94 and 77 %, respectively, in relation to the value of 58 % of the control group. Helicobacter pylori infection was markedly associated with diabetes mellitus in recently recruited patients with diabetes mellitus, or in those treated with diet only (p= 0.03, p= 0.01).
