Abstract
The study investigated the levels of cytokines IL-8 and TNF-α in vaginal secretion in a group of female patients with Helicobacter-associated acid-related diseases who were or were not treated with antibiotics against anti-Helicobacter therapy. It turned out that the secretory cytokine (chemokine) IL-8 is dramatically increased in the vaginal mucosa in patients treated with antibiotics, specifically in post-menopause women. Thus, we conclude that helicobacter pylori eradication treatment affects the immune status of the female genital tract.
