About

Intestinal parasitic infections such as Giardia lamblia, Entamoeba histolyica and Enterobius Vermicularis are among the most common infections worldwide.So parasitic infections are considered one of the major health problems in the world especially in developing countries.

Helicobacter pylori is a gram-negative,helical-shaped,motile bacillus bacterium,which colonizes the gastric mucosa.

H.pylori bacterium secretes urease,a special enzyme that converts urea to ammonia.

Ammonia reduces the stomach's acidity .This risk factor allows pathogenic intestinal protozoa such as G.lamblia to take the opportunity to cross through the stomach's increased pH and cause disease.
