The aim of this study was to investigate the state of Helicobacter pylori (Hp) infection in gastroenterology nurses and to prove the effect of gloves on protecting nurses against Hp infection. 157 subjects working in hospitals in Nanjing were investigated, in which there were gastroenterology nurses, and gastroenterologists, and nongastroenterology nurses. All of them were examined for anti-Hp IgG by means of a indirected enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. No significant difference of the mean absorbence of anti-Hp IgG were found between the gastroenterology nurses and the doctors (P > 0.05). There was significant difference between the two groups of nurses (P < 0.05); There were no statistical significant difference among the three subgroups of gastroenterology nurses, divided as their working duration in the special field. It was concluded gastroenterology nurses was one group of the people who were more easy to be affected with Hp, they will reach the saturation level of catching Hp in the first five years duration, and glove using may reduce incidence of this occupational infection.
