Can H. pylori and crohns disease be similar my son was diagnosed with heliobactor pylori could it be crohns disease?

The symptoms can be similar. The tests done however would confirm which disease the doctors were dealing with. H Pylori is distinctive as a corkscrew shaped gram negative bacterium. Biopsy from the stomach lining is used among other tests. Treatment in some cases can be somewhat similar with the use of metronidazole and other antibiotics. It can take several treatments but unlike crohns disease, h. pylori is curable.


What are the properties of H. pylori?

Under the microscope, H. pylori (Helicobacter pylori) is a spiral shaped rod, gram negative, 3*0.5 micrometers in size, and has 4-6 flagella. They are aerobic bacteria that are responsible for 80% of stomach ulcers. Besides microscopically observing stomach (stool) samples, one can also determine the presence of H. pylori by:culture of stomach fluid sampleurea breath testmeasuring antibodies to urease in blood, saliva, or stool. However, these antibodies may persist long after the infection has been eradicated, so it is less useful than the breath test.Another property of the H. pylori allows for the urea breath test. Since H. pylori contains high levels of urease, an enzyme which degrades urea to carbon dioxide (CO2), patients can swallow a dose of urea labeled with C13, then have their breath collected. The Collected exhale (labeled CO2) will then be measured in a mass spectrometer to determine if the concentration of CO2 indicates an H. pylori infection. This is an accurate test for H. pylori.
