A group of 90 subjects with multiple sclerosis was examined with the serological Helicotest for the presence of antibodies against Helicobacter pylori. Positive results were found in 17 patients (18.9%), which is markedly lower than this infection incidence rate in the population of Poland. The results indicate a lack of connection between the Helicobacter pylori infection and multiple sclerosis. However, it seems reasonable to perform the test in MS patients so as to avoid the risk of the upper alimentary tract complications in the course of intense steroid treatment applied as a standard management of multiple sclerosis relapse.
对一组90名多发性硬化症患者进行了血清学幽门螺杆菌检测，以检测是否存在抗幽门螺杆菌抗体。17名患者（18.9%）检测结果呈阳性，这明显低于波兰人群中的该感染发病率。结果表明幽门螺杆菌感染与多发性硬化症之间不存在关联。然而，对多发性硬化症患者进行该项检测似乎是合理的，以便在作为多发性硬化症复发标准治疗方法的强化类固醇治疗过程中避免上消化道并发症的风险。
