Dyspepsia and Helicobacter pylori: test, treat or investigate?

abstract：OBJECTIVES:Coeliac disease (CD) is common in patients with microscopic colitis (MC). The human leucocyte antigen (HLA)-DR3-DQ2 haplotype is strongly associated with CD, and there is evidence for an association with MC. We analysed the genetic background of MC by assessing the haplotypes of HLA-DR3-DQ2 and HLA-DR4-DQ8. ...
