A H. pylori level of up to 2800 means that the patient has developed a severe H. pylori infection, which may have been caused by eating unclean food or contact with an infected person.
Generally speaking a level of H. pylori below 100 is normal and above 300 is considered a severe infection. H. pylori is mainly spread through the digestive tract by mouth-oral and fecal-oral transmission. The patient may have consumed water and food contaminated by fecal infection, such as eating unwashed fruits and vegetables, unboiled well water, etc. The patient may also have eaten with an infected person. It may also be caused by eating with an infected person, etc. It may also be caused by incomplete sterilization of the endoscope when the patient is undergoing endoscopy.
Patients who develop severe H. pylori infections should undergo eradication treatment in a timely manner, which can be carried out using the H. pylori quadruple therapy (proton pump inhibitors such as omeprazole, two antimicrobial drugs such as amoxicillin and clarithromycin, and bismuth). Patients should also pay attention to eating clean food and less spicy and greasy food in general.
Patients with H. pylori reaching 2800 should go to the hospital for examination in time to receive treatment after clarifying the H. pylori infection.
