| helicobacter pylori infection in children. | helicobacter pylori was sought prospectively by culture of antral biopsy, histology and serology (igg and iga) in 440 consecutive endoscopies on children to determine the prevalence, clinical presentation and histological features of h. pylori infection in our population. twenty-eight patients had h. pylori (8% overall). the mean age of infected patients was significantly higher than that of non-infected patients (p less than 0.0001). no patient under 5 years of age had h. pylori isolated. overa ... | 1991 | 1932664 |

| helicobacter pylori in melbourne chinese immigrants: evidence for oral-oral transmission via chopsticks. | the helicobacter pylori seroprevalence in a representative population of 328 melbourne chinese immigrants (162 men and 166 women) aged 25 years and older were studied. the population consisted of chinese people born in china/hong kong (n = 110, 33.5%), vietnam (n = 79, 24.1%), malaysia/singapore (n = 102, 31.1%), and elsewhere (n = 37, 11.3%). the overall seroprevalence of h. pylori was 59.5%; 60.5% in men and 58.4% in women. gender specific analysis showed associations between higher seropreval ... | 1995 | 8963032 |

| the prevalence of helicobacter pylori in practising dental staff and dental students. | recent studies suggest helicobacter pylori is spread by faecal-oral or oral-oral transmission. gastroenterologists who are exposed to gastric secretions and saliva have a high prevalence of h. pylori infection. venous blood was obtained from 92 dentists, 40 dental nurses, 33 fifth year and 30 first year dental students. an elisa assay was used to detect h. pylori igg antibodies. results were compared with an age and sex matched normal population. the prevalence of h. pylori infection in dentists ... | 1998 | 9583224 |
| prevalence of helicobacter pylori in a representative anglo-celtic population of urban melbourne. | the aims of this study were to assess the prevalence of helicobacter pylori and its relationship with different epidemiological factors in an anglo-celtic australian population in the melbourne urban area. two hundred and seventy-three (120 men and 153 women with a mean age of 55.6 and range of 20 to 80 years) of 396 eligible subjects randomly sampled from the telephone directory were studied. an elisa technique was used to detect h. pylori immunoglobulin (ig)g antibody and self-administered que ... | 1998 | 9641649 |
