| Sumario: |
In Latin America, it is estimated that more than 50% of the population is or has been
infected by the bacterium H. pylori, thus being one of the main causes of
serious gastric pathologies. At the time of completing this thesis project, the
main objectives were based on being able to describe the bacterium H. pylori; their ways of
transmission, its way of acting from the moment it enters the organism; prevalence of infection;
how it can cause various pathologies since it enters the body and compare
the various diagnostic methods.
This study resulted in a higher incidence of infection in people of
adulthood and older because they often contracted the bacteria during childhood and
infection was developing and persisting as they grew; still can't
describe a direct route of transmission but the best known and most prevalent
they are oral-oral, gastro-oral and fecal-oral, with food playing an important role;
comparing the diagnostic tests it was obtained that the CRP is considered as the
best test when wanting to have an accurate diagnosis, although it should be
consider many clinical data of the patient before carrying out any test
diagnostic.
In conclusion, the most affected countries are those that are in the process of
development and there are many conditions that predispose a person to be able to acquire
this bacterium. There are still many more studies to be carried out in order to contribute to knowing
more this bacterium
