Identification of serologically active Helicobacter pylori antigens related to alterations in serum pepsinogen levels
Rev Argent Microbiol. 2023 Jun 27:S0325-7541(23)00031-7. doi: 10.1016/j.ram.2023.04.003. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTGastric adenocarcinoma is associated with Helicobacter pylori infection. The transition to a carcinogenic process is preceded by glandular atrophy and serum levels of pepsinogen I and II (PGI and PGII) correlate with this type of gastric lesions. Possible associations of serum PG levels in relation to the frequency of serological activity against H. pylori antigens were studied. Serum samples from patients with gastric pathology associated with H. pylori (n=26) and asymptomatic individuals as controls (n=3...
