Abstract
Nausea and vomiting (morning sickness) of moderate intensity are especially common complaints from early pregnancy until approximately 12 weeks. It occurs in almost 50% of pregnancies in the first trimester, and is associated with younger age, heavier maternal weight, primigravidas, and a history of previous emesis if multiparous. Hyperemesis gravidarum (HG) is the most severe form of this disorder, occurring in 1-2% of pregnancies, and is accompanied by weight loss, ketonemia, and electrolyte imbalance, and profouu volume depletion. The typical onset is between 4 and 8 weeks gestation, continuing until 14-16 weeks (Kocak I, et a!., 1999).
This study was carried out in Menoufiya University Hospital. The study included 30 pregnant women during the first trimester of their ongoing pregnancy, admitted to Obstetrics & Gynecology department, divided into 3 groups:Group I: included 10 patients complaining of hyperemesis
gravidraum.
Group II: included 10 patients complaining of ernesis
gravidarum.
Group III: included 10 pregnant women not complaining of
emesis (control group).
In this study, there was a highly significant statistical difference between group I (hyperemesis gravidarum) & group III (control) regarding H.pylori culture positivity in which H. pylon was positive in 8 (80%) of 10 patients in group I and 2 (20%) of 10 patients in group
III.
