Title:Distribution of Helicobacter pylori virulence markers in patients with
gastroduodenal diseases in Pakistan
Version: 1Date:12 June 2009
Reviewer: Tamara Vorobjova
Reviewer's report:
Minor Essential Revisions
1.In “Material and methods” (p. 5) it would be important to present the
characteristics of studied cancer patients (localization of tumour - in antrum? in
corpus?) and the type of adenocarcinoma (intestinal, diffuse?).
2.It should be necessary to analyse the distribution of vacA alles in different
group of cancer patients, especially taking into account the importance and
frequency of vacA type i1 in gastric cancer group (84%) (p.9 and Table 2).
3.The Conclusion in the end of paper should be written more clearly.
Level of interest: An article of importance in its field
Quality of written English: Acceptable
Statistical review: No, the manuscript does not need to be seen by a
statistician.
