Title:High prevalence of Helicobacter pylori Infection in Behcet's Disease
Version:2Date:9 January 2014
Reviewer: Seray Külcü Çakmak
Reviewer's report:
The article describes the prevalance of H. pylori infection identified by serology
and urea breath tests. The authors state that previous studies had some
limitations in their methodologies, but it is stated in other studies that the patients
were not using drugs which might have effected the results. The authors also
state that researchers from Turkey did not
find any relation between deep vein thrombosis and H.pylori infection in
BD, but there are other studies describing whether any specific presentation of
BD is related to H.pylori.
Also the English of the manuscript is poor.
Level of interest: An article whose findings are important to those with closely
related research interests
Quality of written English: Needs some language corrections before being
published
Statistical review: Yes, but I do not feel adequately qualified to assess the
statistics.
