Background: Infections were assumed as potential risk-factors for pre-eclampsia (PE). An exciting correlation was found among PE and Helicobacter pylori (HP) infections. HP is an infectious agent that was related to several complications throughout the gestation course, counting iron insufficiency anemia and hyper-emesis gravidarum. It is assessed to be existing in 46 percent of gestations.
Objective: The current work aimed to show the role of HP infections in females with mild PE.
Patients and methods: This a prospective cross-section study included a number of 100 women between 36th to full-term gestational weeks was conducted in obstetrics and gynecology department, El-Hussein Hospitals, Al-Azhar University, the retro between May 2020 to December 2020.
Results: A significant change was found among the study groups as regard BMI only. A significant change was found among the study groups as regard SBP and DBP. A significant change was found among the study groups as regard hemoglobin, PLT, ALT, AST, LDH, creatinine, 24h proteinuria UACR and TM. Positive anti HP anti-bodies were significantly more frequent in PE cases. Regarding to anti-HP anti-bodies in PE-group, a nonsignificant change was found among the study groups. A significant change was found among the study groups as regard birth weight only.
Conclusion: Considering the correlation among positive test and PE incidence we may utilize screening for elevated risk females and treatment for pre-eclampsia cases.
