Background
Iron deficiency is the most common cause of anaemia worldwide and is seen in general practice. The cause of iron deficiency anemia changes in different age groups, whether due to blood loss, gastrointestinal causes or increase in body demand for iron.
Objectives
This study was designed to determine any relation between Helicobacter pylori positive subjects serologically in Sulaymaniyah city/Iraqi Kurdistan with Iron deficiency anemia.
Patients and Methods
The current study enrolled one hundred twenty female volunteers (eighty female with positive H. pylori serology, either both or any one of IgG & IgM positive) and forty subjects with negative serology. Then, contributors divided to four groups according to the age. H. pylori was detected serologically by using anti-H. pylori IgG and IgM antibodies ELISA kit.
Results
Hemoglobin level, mean corpuscular volume, white blood cells, platelets counts, serum ferritin and total iron binding capacity, were measured. Hemoglobin level and mean corpuscular volume in all patients considerably decreased (P < 0.01) compared with all control groups. While, the outcome of white blood cells and platelets counts demonstrated no considerable changes in all patient groups compare with all control groups. Serum ferritin in all patient categories significantly reduced (P < 0.01) compared with all control groups. While, TIBC levels significantly raised in patient groups compare with control groups.
Conclusion
There is a relation between Helicobacter pylori positive serology and iron deficiency anemia in Kurdistan- Sulaimania city.
