Abstract

One of the problems associated with Helicobacter — pylori infection is a low level of efficacy in eradication and/or the development of side-effects after therapy. The aim is to study Helicobacter — pylori prevalence in Baykal region. Materials and methods. Case histories of 469 patients with different nosologic forms (gastric ulcer, duodenal ulcer, chronic gastritis) were analyzed. The retrospective analysis included the patients treated in City Clinical Hospital № 1, Krai Clinical Hospital, Railway Clinical Hospital during 2006–2012.Conclusion. Involvement of gastro-intestinal tract was revealed to be different in different regions of Zabaikalski krai, with Chita residents being affected more often (p<0,01). The study results testified to data adequacy in gender factor: male patients had Helicobacter — pylori involvement more frequently compared with female patients (p<0,001). Male subjects suffer from gastrointestinal disorders more often than female ones.
