The bacterium Helicobacter pylori reduces the risk of asthma

Bacterium is found in the stomach, reduces the risk of asthma in children. Children in contact with germs from 3 to 13 years with asthma for 59% were less likely, scientists say. The bacterium Helicobacter pylori is one of the oldest human companion. According to scientists, this was primitive microbe in the stomachs of humans about 50,000 years ago. In 2005, Australian researchers Robin Warren and Barry Marshall proved the Nobel Prize for Medicine and Physiology for a series of papers that Helicobacter pylori is one of the most important factors in the development of diseases such as gastric and duodenal ulcers excellent. By the middle of the XX century Helicobacter pylori carriers were almost 100 percent of the world population, but reduced in recent decades rapidly due to widespread use of antibiotics, the prevalence of these bacteria in the developed countries was. Scientists investigated the University of New York, in a study of 7400 data, the children and adolescents under 19 years. The results showed that the participants in the body, which was obnuruzhena Helicobacter pylori, on average 25% less asthma than those who do not suffer carrier of the bacterium. In the age group of 3 to 13 years, the difference is significant carriers of the bacteria had asthma was 59% less. They also have a 40% less symptoms of hay fever and other allergic reactions. The report on the study published in The Journal of Infectious Diseases published. According to experts, such a pattern may partially explain the observed increases in recent decades in asthma and allergies in children. Researchers maintain that the presence of Helicobacter pylori in the stomach due to the increase in the number of regulatory T-lymphocytes, which in turn reduces the risk of inflammatory and allergic reactions when exposed to other allergens.
