ABSTRACT

Objective: the aim of this research was to determine the prevalence of Helicobacter pylori infection on Chilean pregnant women and its relationship with the appearance and severity of hyperemesis and dyspepsia. Methods: quantitative study of prevalence in a transversal cut with variable analysis. The sample was taken from 274 Chilean pregnant women from the Bío Bío province through vein puncture between June and December, 2005. Pregnant women were informed of this study, interviewed and signed an informed consent. The samples were processed using ImmunoComb II Helicobacter pylori IgG kit. Statistical analysis was performed by means of the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) Program. Results: out of the total number of pregnant women, 68.6% showed infection by Helicobacter pylori. 79.6% of the total sample had symptoms of dyspepsia, and 72.5% of this group presented Helicobacter pylori infection. 12.4% showed pregnancy hyperemesis; among them, 79.4% were infected with Helicobacter pylori. 73.4% of the pregnant women that showed gastric discomfort during the first three months had Helicobacter pylori infection. 53.7% of them continued with gastric discomfort after the first three months; of those, 95.8% were infected. Helicobacter pylori infection was present only in 1.5% of pregnant women without gastric discomfort. Conclusion: both, gastric discomfort of pregnant women and the continuity of severe symptoms of dyspepsia and hyperemesis after the first three months of gestation are significantly correlated with Helicobacter pylori infection. .


Objetivo: o objetivo desta investigação foi determinar a prevalência da infecção por Helicobacter pylori em mulheres grávidas chilenas e a sua relação com o aparecimento e agravamento de hiperêmese e dispepsia. Métodos: estudo de prevalência, quantitativo de coorte transversal com análise de variáveis. A amostra foi tomada através de punção venosa em 274 mulheres grávidas chilenas, da província de Bío Bío, nos meses de junho a dezembro de 2005. As mulheres que participaram foram informadas, assinaram um consentimento e responderam uma pesquisa. As amostras foram processadas usando o kit ImmunoComb II Helicobacter pylori IgG. A análise estatística foi realizada com o programa Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS). Resultados: do total de mulheres pesquisadas, 68,5% apresentam infecção por Helicobacter pylori. Do total, 80,7% tiveram sinais de dispepsia; dessa porcentagem, 72,5% apresentaram infecção por Helicobacter pylori. Uma porcentagem de 12,6% das pacientes apresentou hiperêmese gravídica; dessas, 79,4% tiveram a infecção. Do total das mulheres grávidas com moléstias gástricas no primeiro trimestre de gravidez, 73,4% registraram infecção por Helicobacter pylori. Uma porcentagem de 53,7% continuou com moléstias gástricas depois do primeiro trimestre e dentro desse grupo 95,8% tiveram a infecção. Infecção por Helicobacter pylori estava presente em apenas em 1,5% das mulheres grávidas sem desconforto gástrico. Conclusão: as moléstias gástricas das mulheres grávidas e o agravamento dos sinais de dispepsia e hiperêmese depois do primeiro trimestre de gravidez estão correlacionados significativamente à infecção por Helicobacter pylori. .
