Abstract
Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is a gram-negative bacterium that infects approximately half of the worldwide population. Although asymptomatic in most people, it can cause non-ulcer dyspepsia, gastro-duodenal ulcer disease and gastric cancer. H. pylori infection has also been correlated with extra-intestinal diseases like unexplained iron-deficiency anemia, immune thrombocytopenia and vitamin B12 deficiency. Its impact on pregnancy issues has also been studied, but the relationship is less clear. Recently, multiple meta-analyses found that H. pylori infection is correlated with gestational diabetes mellitus, preeclampsia, nausea and hyperemesis gravidarum, and adverse birth outcomes such as birth defects and fetal growth restriction. There is no recommendation for treating H. pylori infection during pregnancy according to the Maastricht VI consensus. This article aims to state the current knowledge about H. pylori infection and pregnancy-related diseases.
期刊介绍：
The Journal Acta Gastro-Enterologica Belgica principally publishes peer-reviewed original manuscripts, reviews, letters to editors, book reviews and guidelines in the field of clinical Gastroenterology and Hepatology, including digestive oncology, digestive pathology, as well as nutrition. Pure animal or in vitro work will not be considered for publication in the Journal. Translational research papers (including sections of animal or in vitro work) are considered by the Journal if they have a clear relationship to or relevance for clinical hepato-gastroenterology (screening, disease mechanisms and/or new therapies). Case reports and clinical images will be accepted if they represent an important contribution to the description, the pathogenesis or the treatment of a specific gastroenterology or liver problem. The language of the Journal is English. Papers from any country will be considered for publication. Manuscripts submitted to the Journal should not have been published previously (in English or any other language), nor should they be under consideration for publication elsewhere. Unsolicited papers are peer-reviewed before it is decided whether they should be accepted, rejected, or returned for revision. Manuscripts that do not meet the presentation criteria (as indicated below) will be returned to the authors. Papers that go too far beyond the scope of the journal will be also returned to the authors by the editorial board generally within 2 weeks. The Journal reserves the right to edit the language of papers accepted for publication for clarity and correctness, and to make formal changes to ensure compliance with AGEB’s style. Authors have the opportunity to review such changes in the proofs.
