They were classified according to the results of stool H. pylori Ag testing into two groups; positive and negative (each group 100 patient). This is cross-sectional study done on 200 patients selected as a convenient sample Results: Our results indicated that patients with H. pylori infection were more susceptible to AITD. There was significant association between H. pylori infection and both Hashimoto's and Graves' disease. H. pylori infection had shown to be associated with elevated liver enzymes, anemia, and IL 17.
