Review[Clinical importance of Helicobacter pylori infection in patients with diabetes mellitus].
This paper provides a review of current literature on Helicobacter pylori infection in diabetes mellitus. According to majority of studies there is no difference of Helicobacter pylori infection prevalence between diabetes mellitus and general population. ⋯ In case of anti-helicobacter therapy (due to another indication) eradication rate is lower in diabetics (compared to non-diabetics) and there is a higher risk of re-infection (compared to general population). Several issues (especially dysmotility disorders of the stomach and influence of Helicobacter pylori eradication for the control of diabetes) remain controversial.
