investigate H. pylori seropositivity rate in preeclamptic and healthy pregnants. Design & Methods: We compared the serum malondialdehyde (MDA) (an oxidative stress marker) levels and lipid profile between H. pylori-positive and negative cases. Results: Preeclampsia group had higher serum MDA levels compared with healthy pregnants (p b 0.001). There were no significant differences between normotensive pregnants and preeclamptics with regard to serum lipid profile. While the rates of H. pylori seropositivity was 43/53 (81%) in preeclampsia group, this was 18/30 (60%) in normal pregnants (OR, 2.86; 95% CI, 1.05-7.82; p = 0.036). We further divided the preeclampsia group as H. pylori-positive and H. pylori-negative subgroups. In H. pylori-positive group, serum total cholesterol (p b 0.01) and low density lipoprotein-cholesterol (p b 0.01) levels were significantly higher than those of H. pylori-negative group. Additionally, mean MDA concentration was higher in H. pyloripositive group than that of H. pylori-negative group (p b 0.001). In healthy pregnant group, there was not any significant difference in terms of serum lipid profile and MDA concentration between H. pylori-positive and -
