[111] Western people infected with strains carrying the cag PAI have a stronger inflammatory response in the stomach and are at a greater risk of developing peptic ulcers or stomach cancer than ...
The most common are pernicious anemia possibly leading to vitamin B 12 deficiency; and malabsorption of iron, leading to iron deficiency anaemia. [2] It can be caused by persistent infection with Helicobacter pylori, or can be autoimmune in origin.
