Document 0112 DOCN M9460112 TI [Role of Helicobacter pylori in digestive disease in AIDS] DT 9408 AU Carella G; Vallot T; Marra L; Istituto di Patologia Speciale Medica, Universita Cattolica del; S. Cuore di Roma. SO Clin Ter. 1994 Jan;144(1):19-22. Unique Identifier : AIDSLINE MED/94221880 AB The frequent combination of chronic antral gastritis with the presence of Helicobacter pylori has been known for ten years. On the basis of studies carried out so far, Helicobacter gastritis is very infrequent in patients suffering from AIDS with digestive pathology. Our study of 317 patients with AIDS confirms the low incidence of this disorder which leads to the conclusion that the treatments intended to combat HIV are apt to modify the physico-chemical conditions of the stomach thus impeding Helicobacter colonization.
