    Abstract:
    A seroepidemiologic study was conducted in the province of Lecce (Italy) to describe the epidemiology of Helicobacter pylori infection in the general population. IgG and IgA Helicobacter pylori antibodies were measured by the Elisa assay. Overall, 21.5% of the analysed specimens were found to be positive for H pylori IgA antibodies while 43% were positive for IgG. In both males and females, the highest H pylori seropositivity rates were found to occur in the 41-80 year-old age groups.
