Faktor Risiko dan Pengobatan Infeksi Helicobacter pylori pada Suku Baduy di Provinsi Banten

Abstract

Helicobacter pylori is a human-infected bacteria that cause serious problems such as peptic ulcer disease and gastric cancer. Several indigenous tribes, such as those in Papua, Batak, and Bugis, have a high prevalence of H. pylori and a high risk. This study aims to analyze the risk of infection with H. pylori bacteria, management, and treatment in the Baduy tribe in Lebak Regency, Banten Province. This research was conducted using a literature study, and the results showed that the Badut tribe had a risk of infection with H. pylori bacteria. However, the treatment process for patients is minimal because there is no early detection of people infected with H. pylori. In addition, the medicines used are derived from medicinal plants based on the Baduy’s traditional knowledge. Thus, there are many limitations to detecting and treating Baduy people infected with H. pylori bacteria.
