"Background: Primary hosts of Helicobacter heilmannii are domestic animals-cats, dogs and pigs, but rarely is it detected in gastric biopsies from humans. We found H. heilmannii in gastric biopsies obtained from patients living in a predominantly rural area Methods: We evaluated geographic and demographic data from the area and calculated both the total prevalence and the prevalence in each community in this area. Chi-squared test and exploratory data analysis were used for statistical evaluation. Histologic and clinical data were recorded. Results: Forty-three communities, mostly rural, were identified in the area, the size of which is about 200 km(2). H. heilmannii was detected in 33 patients (prevalence 2%) Livings in 20 communities. The prevalence of H. heilmannii statistically significantly varied in those communities from 0.06%-1.1%. It was possible to infer that there is a negative correlation between prevalence and community size. Chronic active gastritis was diagnosed in all patients. The acti"@en . .
