Abstract | ||||
Human infection by Helicobacter pylori (H.pylori ) and intestinal parasites simultaneously is a common health problem, especially in developing countries. H.pylori infection often leads to the development of different gastrointestinal complaints. Both groups of pathogens have the same predisposing factors and play an important role in gastrointestinal pathology in individuals having these co-infections, furthermore, it can affect the host's immune response. However, data on the magnitude and risk factors of these co-infections are limited. Here we tried to spot the light on this important relationship. | ||||
