Does helicobacter pylori Seropositivity in Patients with Interleukin-1 Polymorphisms be Significantly Associated with ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction?
The coincidence of Helicobacter pylori-seropositivity and interleukin-1 polymorphisms was significantly associated with higher levels of high sensitivity C-reactive protein and the increased risk of ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction.
Presence of increased immunoreactivity against mycobacterial antigens in the sera of patients with RA was detected. When statistical analyses was considered, we cannot put forward any antigenic fraction alone as the one responsible for the increased reactivity.
