fingerprinting of nigerian helicobacter pylori isolates by plasmid profile and pcr. | plasmid profiling and digestion of amplified pcr product of urea genes were used to determine genomic variation in 56 strains of helicobacter pylori isolated from patients with peptic ulcers and subjects with gastritis recruited in lagos and ife, nigeria. twenty-five (45%) of the strains were found to harbour plasmids ranging in size from 0.9 kb to > 10 kb. the plasmid profile was able to detect differences between the strains, and also to distinguish between different strains isolated from the ... | 2002 | 11925761 |
helicobacter pylori infection among a pediatric population with sickle cell disease. | recurrent abdominal pain (rap) is a common presenting symptom in children with sickle cell disease (scd). this may be as a result of complications of the disease, surgical problems, or helicobacter pylori gastritis. the prevalence of h pylori infection in scd children is not known. this study aimed to determine the prevalence and association of h pylori infection with rap in scd children. | 2010 | 21141300 |

prevalence of a marker of active helicobacter pylori infection among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus in lagos, nigeria. | there appears to exist a potentially important interplay between diabetes mellitus (dm) and helicobacter pylori (h. pylori) infection. findings from previous studies have been conflicting. only a few studies have examined the topic in a sub-saharan african population. this study sought to determine the prevalence of h. pylori infection among type 2 diabetes mellitus (t2dm) patients in lagos, nigeria. | 2012 | 22686510 |
helicobacter pylori associated with breastfeeding, nutritional status and recurrent abdominal pain in healthy nigerian children. | there is limited knowledge about the associations of helicobacter pylori (h. pylori) infections in developing countries. this study aimed to determine the current prevalence and associations of h. pylori infection with breastfeeding practices, nutritional status, and recurrent abdominal pain (rap) in a group of apparently healthy children and adolescents in lagos, nigeria. | 2014 | 24727510 |
