Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates the link between H. pylori virulence genes and liver damage markers in patients with metabolic dysfunction associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD).
  • A total of 362 dyspeptic patients were analyzed, finding that 42% had MASLD and 45% were H. pylori-positive, with H. pylori positivity linked to higher liver injury indicators.
  • Specifically, carriers of the cagA/vacA-s1/m1 allele displayed a higher risk for significant liver fibrosis compared to those without this allelic combination, indicating a need for further research in this area.

Visceral leishmaniasis (VL) is a relevant parasitic disease in public health, produced by Leishmania infantum chagasi. Since the urbanization and emergence in Southern Brazil and Paraguay, the vector Lutzomyia longipalpis in Formosa, 2004, and the first human visceral leishmaniasis case in Misiones, 2006, have been reported in Argentina. Due to the reports of canine VL, a search of the vector in the Province of Corrientes, contiguous to Misiones, was performed during December 2008.
