TI  - Prevalence of a marker of active helicobacter pylori infection among patients 
      with type 2 diabetes mellitus in Lagos, Nigeria.

AB  - BACKGROUND: There appears to exist a potentially important interplay between 
      diabetes mellitus (DM) and Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection. Findings 
      from previous studies have been conflicting. Only a few studies have examined the 
      topic in a sub-Saharan African population. This study sought to determine the 
      prevalence of H. pylori infection among Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients 
      in Lagos, Nigeria. FINDINGS: H. pylori infection was detected in 18% of T2DM 
      patients and 13% of controls but there was no statistical significance in this 
      difference (p = 0.52). The prevalence of H. pylori was neither associated with 
      the known duration of T2DM nor was it associated with age, gender, body mass 
      index (BMI), smoking status. T2DM was not shown to be a risk factor independently 
      associated with risk for H. pylori infection (OR = 0.87, 95% CI = 0.58-1.31, 
      p = 0.57). CONCLUSIONS: The lack of a statistical significant difference between 
      the H. pylori infection rates in T2DM patients and controls suggests that the 
      infection is not increased in T2DM. Larger studies need to be conducted to 
      confirm the study findings.
