- H. pylori infection remains highly prevalent in Africa despite a decline, causing significant health issues in 10%-20% of those infected.
- An online survey conducted across 21 African countries revealed that dyspepsia was the main reason for testing, with stool antigen tests and gastric biopsies being common diagnostic methods.
- The study highlights the variability in healthcare practices and calls for the creation of localized, evidence-based management guidelines for H. pylori in Africa, facilitated by the African Helicobacter and Microbiota study group.
Helicobacter pylori and intestinal parasites cause gastrointestinal diseases with a high prevalence in children in resource limited developing countries. There is paucity of information in Nigeria on co-infection of H. pylori and intestinal parasites.

Persistent and uneradicated HPI could result in gastric cancer, although less severe pathological outcomes have been reported among Africans - the so-called "African enigma."
Summary: Analysis of endoscopic findings of the upper gastrointestinal tract demonstrates similarities with that of patients from the West.
