PURPOSE: To prove the influence oftte Helicobcter pylor for the development of the central serous chororetinopathy. MATERIAL AND METHODS: We examined 55 patients with central serous chorioretinopathy confirmed by fluorescein angiogram and 55 controls. Each patient provided venous blood sample for IgG antibodies to Helicobacter pylori by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay technique (ELISA) and a stool specimen for Helicobacter pylori antigens. RESULTS: 44% in CSC patients were positive results of stool examine and only 29% in group comtrol. In 67% of the patients we proved the presence of the antibodies IgG--anty Helicobacter pylori and in 47% controls. The difference was statistically significant. CONCLUSIONS: Helicobacter pylori infection is statistically more frequently among the patients with CSC diagnosis than in healthy population.
