Özet
Methods. Forty patients with preeclampsia and 40 normotensive pregnant women of similar age and body mass index at the third trimester of gestation were selected for the study. Chlamydia pneumonia IgM and IgGs, Helicobacter pylori IgAs and concentrations of CRP and TNF-alpha were measured. Results. Concentrations of CRP and TNF-alpha were significantly higher in patients with preeclampsia than in control subjects. In the preeclamptic group, positivity rate for Helicobacter pylori IgA was significantly higher as compared to controls (p = 0.034). CRP and TNF-alpha levels were higher in Helicobacter pylori seropositive subjects. Conclusion. We demonstrated high levels of serum CRP and TNF-alpha in preeclamptic women who were seropositive to Helicobacter pylori in comparison with those in seronegative subjects.
