   Helycobacter pylori es una bacteria que afecta a la mayoria de la población mundial, cuya trasmisión puede ser fecal-oral, oral-oral, causando síntomas inespecíficos que dificultan su diagnóstico clínico. Con el objetivo de determinar el riesgo que representa la profesión en adquirir la infección por Helicobacter pylori, se realizó este estudio en 435 profesionales de salud (Químicos Biologos, Odontólogos y Médicos). Se utilizó un método serológico ELISA, através del cual s edeterminaron los anticuerpos IgG específicos, como indicador del contacto previo. Al comparar la población proesional con la población libre de riesgo ocupacional, se observó que no hay asociación al ser profesional de estas carereras con la preencia de anticuerpos anti H pylori (p 0.1421), asi mimso s edescartó la relación del género para presentar infección por H. pylori (p. 0.278).

  Helicobacter pylori is a bacterium that affects the majority of the world's population. This bacterium is adquired during the childhood, the transmission can be fecal‐oral, oral‐oral, and for through the contact with a infected person, causing symptoms that hinder their clinical diagnosis. With the aim to determine the risk given by the profession to acquire infection with Helicobacter pylori, this study was conducted in 435 professionals of biological chemistry, dentistry, and medicine. The IgG specific antibodies were measured with ELISA method, as an indicator of the previous contact.  The results obtained in this study were compared with the ones obtained in an occupational risk-free population, and no association was found between the profession and the presence of antibodies anti H. pylori (p 0.1421), likewise was discarded the relationship of gender to infection by H. pylori (p 0.278). We concluded that to exercise the profession of dentistry, chemical biological or physician does not represent a risk for the presence of infection by H. pylori. Likewise there is no relation within the gender and the presence of infection by H.  pylori (p 0.278).
