Abstract
OBJECTIVE
Gastrointestinal disorders are frequent in HIV+. Helicobacter pylori may be an underdiagnosed cause.
METHODS
Patients with HIV and H. pylori were described since January 1998 up to December 2017.
RESULTS
A total de 132 patients were included. The most frequent symptom was dyspepsia. 88.5% had chronic atrophic gastritis. Eradication was achieved in 102 (77.3%). Healing was more frequent with quadruple regimen (p=0.004) and in the youngest (p=0.041).
CONCLUSIONS
H. pylori infection could be responsible for nonspecific digestive manifestations in HIV + patients.
