Saad Al-Fawaeir, Mohammad Abu Zaid, Mervat Abu-Mallouh

Background: Iron deficiency (ID) is the most common cause of anemia worldwide. Recently, there has been evidence suggest that there is an association between Helicobacter pylori infection and ID. Purpose: Based on high prevalence of ID and H. pylori infection in our region, we aimed in this study to examine the association between H. pylori infection and ID. Subjects and Methods: During the period of months from March 2012 to January 2013, this study was conducted in King Hussein Medical Center in Amman, Jordan. The study group consisted of 150 patients with H. pylori infection and 50 healthy subjects as a control group. Blood samples were collected for serum iron, total iron binding capacity (TIBC), serum ferritin, and complete blood count. Results: Serum iron and TIBC in H. pylori positive group were lower than in the healthy group (109.82 ± 34.6 vs. 117.78 ± 32.64 μg/dl, P = 0.37) and (326.88 ± 83.94 vs. 332.43 ± 79.34 μg/dl, P = 0.12), respectively. The mean of serum ferritin was significantly lower in H. pylori positive group (213.87 ± 137.23 ng/ml) than the control group (268.34 ± 165.45 ng/ml, P = 0.027). Hemoglobin levels were lower in patients group (14.3 g/dl vs. 14.9 g/dl P = 0.44). Conclusion: Our study reports that H. pylori infection might have a role in ID and subsequently ID anemia.
