Helicobacter pylori is a spiral bacterium that causes gastric ulcers that affect the gastrointestinal tract.It inhabits the stomach, colonizes the gastric epithelium, and leads to multiple digestive system ailments.Diagnostic techniques for identifying H. pylori infection differ in invasiveness, sensitivity, and specificity, and can be invasive or non-invasive.The choice of which diagnostic test(s) to use may depend on clinical circumstances, clinician expertise, cost, and test accuracy.On the other hand, anemia is a condition in which the number of red blood cells or the hemoglobin concentration within them is lower than normal, a common disease that affects people all over the world.The distinction between iron deficiency anemia and other causes of anemia is unclear.Recent studies on H. pylori's possible contribution to the development of various gastrointestinal problems, including iron deficiency anemia is currently underway.
