Helicobacter pylori Infection and Asthma

Amin Talebi Bezmin Abadi

Abstract


There is an indication of associated extragastric diseases such as asthma with H. pyloriv infection. Asthma is one of the most common chronic disorders in both childhood and adults, characterized with symptoms of wheezing and shortness of breath brought about by airway inflammation and obstruction. Complex human immune responses are involved in the pathogenesis of asthma. Meanwhile, H. pyloriv colonization seems to be effectively engaged. As result, H. pyloriv infection can provide protection against asthma. Optimistically, H. pyloriv status can be an informative biomarker for asthma especially in children. Detecting and applying the H. pyloriv effective molecules affecting the immune response to divert asthma can be an optimal point in current research.
