Downward Shift in Serum IgM with Helicobacter pylori Seropositivity

Downward Shift in Serum IgM with Helicobacter pylori Seropositivity

Objective: To determine whether Helicobacter pylori infection is associated with premature immune ageing, with respect to circulating immunoglobulins. Methods: Serum immunoglobulin classes andH. pylori anti-urease antibody were measured in 205 subjects (aged 30–89 years), obeying inclusion/exclusion...
