High Anti‐<i>Helicobacter pylori</i> Antibody Seropositivity Associated with the Combination of <i>IL‐8–251TT</i> and <i>IL‐10–819TT</i> Genotypes

Abstract

The observed association suggests that individuals with interleukin-8-251TT and interleukin-10-819TT, a combination presumably causing mild inflammation, have a higher probability of the continuing Helicobacter pylori infection, especially among current smokers.
