RESUMEN
Helicobacter pylori es el agente causal de infección más frecuente de la especie humana, con
una marcada desventaja entre los países desarrollados y los países en vía de desarrollo, donde es mucho
más frecuente. Si bien la infección por Helicobacter pylori cursa asintomática en la mayoría de los
individuos infectados también es claro que está íntimamente relacionada con enfermedades malignas
del estómago como el cáncer gástrico y el linfoma MALT; y enfermedades benignas como la gastritis
crónica y la úlcera péptica duodenal y gástrica. A partir del momento en que se conoció que la mucosa
gástrica podía ser colonizada por una bacteria, en la literatura médica mundial indexada (PubMed) se
han informado alrededor de una centena de manifestaciones extragástricas que involucran a especialidades
médicas tan disímiles como la cardiología, la dermatología, la endocrinología, la ginecoobstetricia,
la hematología, la neumología, la neurología, la odontología, la oftalmología, la otorrinolaringología,
la pediatría, la siquiatría y vascular periférico, algunas de ellas con mayor o menor acervo probatorio
de la relación entre la infección por Helicobacter pylori y el desarrollo de la enfermedad. Esta revisión
de la literatura médica mundial se centra en el análisis de la relación de la infección por Helicobacter
pylori con las deficiencias de hierro y de vitamina B
12, con o sin anemia. Se presentan para ambas formas
de anemia, una visión general del problema, las evidencias de la asociación de cada una de ellas con la
infección por Helicobacter pylori, la fisiopatología y el manejo en la era poshelicobacter.
