This review summarizes epidemiologic studies published between April 2004 and March 2005. DNA of Helicobacter pylori was detected in river water, but the culture was unsuccessful. H. pylori infection was associated with Shigella infection. Despite many studies, predominant infection routes of H. pylori have not yet been clearly identified. In some limited populations in developing countries, H. pylori infection was rare or with strange distributions. Trials to reduce the H. pylori infection rate were performed including H. pylori eradication in total family units and fly control. The hypothesis of a causal role of Helicobacter species and H. pylori infection in cancer of the hepatobiliary tract was indeed confirmed.
本综述总结了2004年4月至2005年3月间发表的流行病学研究。在河水中检测到幽门螺杆菌的DNA，但培养未成功。幽门螺杆菌感染与志贺氏菌感染有关。尽管进行了许多研究，但幽门螺杆菌的主要感染途径尚未明确确定。在发展中国家的一些有限人群中，幽门螺杆菌感染罕见或分布异常。开展了降低幽门螺杆菌感染率的试验，包括在全家庭单位根除幽门螺杆菌和控制苍蝇。幽门螺杆菌属及幽门螺杆菌感染在肝胆道癌症中起因果作用的假说确实得到了证实。
