- W4241736163 abstract "<h3>Background:</h3> Numerous studies have suggested that<i>Helicobacter pylori</i>infection in asymptomatic subjects is transmitted from person to person. Its prevalence is higher in the institutionalized setting. If that is the case, persons involved in patient care should have a higher prevalence of the infection. <h3>Methods:</h3> We estimated the prevalence of<i>H pylori</i>antibodies among groups of asymptomatic medical and nursing staff and compared them with volunteer blood donors of similar age and sex. <h3>Results:</h3> One hundred fifty-eight nurses and aides, 59 residents, 46 senior medical students, and 22 senior nursing students were enrolled in this study. Serum samples were tested for IgG antibodies against<i>H pylori</i>by enzymelinked immunosorbent assay. Sixty-two (39%) of 158 nurses were found to be positive for antibodies to<i>H pylori</i>compared with 114 (26%) of 441 specimens from the blood donor group. Within the youngest age group (20 to 34 years), 13 (25%) of 51 nurses were positive for<i>H pylori</i>antibodies compared with 19 (13%) of 143 agematched serum samples from the blood donor group. Within the middle age group (35 to 49 years), 32 (39%) of 83 nurses were positive for<i>H pylori</i>antibodies vs 43 (26%) of 167 age-matched blood donors. In the oldest age group (>50 years), 17 (71%) of 24 nurses were positive for<i>H pylori</i>antibodies compared with 52 (40%) of 131 age-matched blood donors. Twenty-three (27%) of 86 nurses with 1 to 15 years of occupational exposure were positive for<i>H pylori</i>antibodies compared with 40 (56%) of 72 nurses with more than 15 years of occupational exposure. <h3>Conclusions:</h3> Nurses have an increased prevalence of<i>H pylori</i>antibodies that is significantly higher than the comparable prevalence of volunteer blood donors and is evident in the youngest age group. In addition, the increased prevalence is related to a longer duration of patient exposure in the nursing group. (Arch Intern Med. 1993;153:708-712)" @default.
