We report two cases of long-standing iron-deficiency anemia in a young man and an elderly woman that improved after eradication of Helicobacter pylori. Neither patient demonstrated any bleeding symptoms nor reported an extremely unbalanced diet. However, H. pylori infection was demonstrated with the urea breath test. After successful eradication of H. pylori, the iron-deficiency anemia dramatically improved in both patients, making it unnecessary to administer ferric medicine for about 20 months. These cases suggest that eradication of H. pylori may be useful in treating some patients with long-standing iron-deficiency anemia.
我们报告了两例长期缺铁性贫血病例，患者分别为一名年轻男性和一名老年女性，在根除幽门螺杆菌后病情有所改善。两名患者均未表现出任何出血症状，也未报告饮食极度不均衡。然而，通过尿素呼气试验证实了幽门螺杆菌感染。成功根除幽门螺杆菌后，两名患者的缺铁性贫血均显著改善，在大约20个月内无需服用铁剂。这些病例表明，根除幽门螺杆菌可能对治疗一些长期缺铁性贫血患者有用。
