| Abstract | ¯Abstract Background: Hyperemesis gravidarum is one of the pregnancy complications which leads to decreased efficiency of pregnant women. Objective: To examine a hypothesis indicative of the presence of an association between hyperemesis gravidarum (HG) and Helicobacter pylori (HP) infection. Methods: This work was a case control study carried out on 35 pregnant women with HG (study group) and 35 asymptomatic pregnant women (control group) admitted to Kosar hospital, Qazvin, Iran in a six-month period between 2003-2004. Serum specific IgG for HP was assayed on the sera of both study a control groups after formal agreement was made. Data were analysed statistically using Chi-square and student t tests. Findings: Serologically positive HP infection was detected in 23 out of 35 patients with HG (%65.7) whereas in control group, only 7 out of 35 asymptomatic gravidas (%20) were found to have positive antibody titers against HP. The ratio of HP positivity in pregnant women with HG was significantly higher than asymtomatic group (P | en |
