: The prevalence of infection is decreasing in the Western world, while remaining high in developing countries. There is limited up-to-date information about the prevalence of in Central and Eastern Europe. The aim of our study was to assess the seroprevalence of and its trend over the past 25 years among students of the Lithuanian University of Health Sciences (LUHS) and to assess its relation to dyspeptic symptoms. : In the years 1995, 2012, 2016 and 2020, students from Medical and Nursing Faculties of LUHS were tested for the presence of antibodies against by performing serological tests from finger capillary blood. In addition, in the years 2012, 2016 and 2020, the students completed a gastrointestinal symptom rating scale (GSRS) questionnaire in order to assess dyspeptic symptoms. The study population consisted of 120 students in the year 1995 (mean age-21.3 ± 1.0 years), 187 students in the year 2012 (mean age-22.4 ± 0.7 years), 262 students in the year 2016 (mean age-20.4 ± 1.0 years) and 148 students in the year 2020 (mean age-20.4 ± 1.7 years). : The seroprevalence for was positive in 62 (51.7%) students in 1995, in 57 (30.4%) students in 2012, in 69 (26.3%) students in 2016 and in 21 (14.2%) students in 2020. The statistically significant difference was found between all study years, except between 2012 and 2016. There were no significant differences in frequency and intensity of upper dyspeptic symptoms between positive and negative students. : Over the last 25 years the seroprevalence of among students of LUHS has decreased significantly. No consistent differences in dyspeptic symptoms among positive and negative subgroups were found.
在西方世界,该感染的患病率正在下降,而在发展中国家仍居高不下。关于中东欧地区该感染的患病率,最新信息有限。我们研究的目的是评估立陶宛卫生科学大学(LUHS)学生中该感染的血清阳性率及其在过去25年中的趋势,并评估其与消化不良症状的关系。:在1995年、2012年、2016年和2020年,对LUHS医学院和护理学院的学生进行手指毛细血管血清学检测,以检测抗该感染的抗体。此外,在2012年、2016年和2020年,学生们完成了一份胃肠道症状评分量表(GSRS)问卷,以评估消化不良症状。研究对象包括1995年的120名学生(平均年龄21.3±1.0岁)、2012年的187名学生(平均年龄22.4±0.7岁)、2016年的262名学生(平均年龄20.4±1.0岁)和2020年的148名学生(平均年龄20.4±1.7岁)。:1995年,62名(51.7%)学生的该感染血清阳性率呈阳性,2012年为57名(30.4%)学生,2016年为69名(26.3%)学生,20
