In the article “Helicobacter Pylori Related Health Problems in Children” written by Akcam and Aslan, they assert that there are many potential dangers of chronic infection with H. Pylori. Akcam and Aslan support their claim by providing a diversity of evidence regarding the diseases that are associated with H. Pylori infection, including but not limited to: cancer, heart disease, neurological disease, and nutrient deficiency. Akcam and Aslan underscore the seriousness of disease correlated with H. Pylori infection in order to spread awareness and promote research and treatment for diseases previously not associated with H. Pylori infection. Akcam and Aslan primarily target an audience already literate in the biological sciences, but their paper can be read and understood by anyone concerned with health and disease (1).
