Colonization with this pathogen is associated with numerous digestive system disorders, digestive disorders, peptic ulcers(10-15%), gastric cancer (1-3%) and mucosa associated lymphoid tissue MALT lymphoma (0.1%). The type and severity of disease depend on many factors, among them the status of the host's immune system, the pathogenicity of H.pylori strains, and the presence of environmental factors( diet, stress, hygiene level or the presence of co-infections). Within these, the most attention is paid to the pathogenicity of H. Pylori and the variety of virulence factors produced by these bacteria. Based on the comprehensive study on the prevalence of Helicobacter pylori antigen among patients attending Benue State University Teaching Hospital, Makurdi, the following recommendations are proposed a. Establish targeted screening programs within the hospital, focusing on demographic groups identified with higher prevalence rates of Helicobacter pylori infection such as the male gender. b. Integrate these screening initiatives into routine healthcare practices at the hospital to ensure early detection and timely intervention for infected patients. ...Preview Download Preview +Other Medical Laboratory Science project topics and materials you might be interested in»Assessement of haematological parameter of Tuberculosis (TB) infected patients at General Hospital Idah, Kogi state»Perception of the routine HIV-AIDS test done in Madonna University among Madonna University students»Self-medication and its associated factors among pharmacy students of Madonna University, Elele»The role of bioinformatics in pancreatic cancer diagnosis and therapy»Natural treatment for otitis externa»Prevalence of some soil transmitted helminths in central primary school Tilden Fulani Toro lga Bauchi state»Packed Cell Volume (PCV) among pregnant women attending antenatal care at General Hospital, Gboko»Determination of glucosuria among pregnant women attending antenatal care at General Hospital Gboko, Benue State»The prevalence of hepatitis B among students of College of Health Technology, Akaajime Gboko, Benue state»Prevalence of plasmodiasis (malaria) among pregnant women at General Hospital, Gboko»Prevalence of malaria parasite among student of College of Health Technology Gboko»Prevalence of helicobacter pylori antigen among patients attending Benue State University Teaching hospital, Makurdi Benue State
