Helicobacter pylori was discovered here in Perth Western Australia so I maintain a home page here. I now live in Perth most of the time and run a research lab at the University of Western Australia. My laboratory is at the Queen Elizabeth II Medical Center half a mile from the main University campus and I have very limited clinical sessions at the Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital on the site.
Please do not count on me to answer your questions about Helicobacter pylori. Sometimes I do it (if it's very quick and interesting) but mostly all I can do is save them for later addition to the FAQ list. Instead of relying on me, search through the FAQ on the Helicobacter Foundation Pages and read the discussion threads. A recent article about H.pylori is available there in the treatment section (still up-to-date in 2003).
Please post all questions about H.pylori onto the Helicobacter Foundation discussion page.
The gut overflowethHelicobacter pylori infection is thought to be uncommon in Australia’s Indigenous community. However, a new study in this issue may turn this belief on its head. The findings of Windsor and colleagues (including Barry Marshall, who first described the association between this organism and gastritis two decades ago) suggest that the infection rate may be even higher in Indigenous than in non-Indigenous Australians (Prevalence of Helicobacter pylori in Indigenous Western Australians: comparison between urban and remote rural populations). If this is really the case, what does it mean? Talley outlines the cause for concern (Helicobacter pylori infection in Indigenous Australians: a serious health issue?). |
