Abstract
Helicobacter pylori infection was identified in five patients with profound neurologic impairment who were undergoing evaluation for gastrointestinal symptoms, and it was subsequently identified in 7 of 61 patients with symptoms whose condition was evaluated prospectively. Institutionalized patients were at greater risk of infection. Treatment of H. pylori infection resulted in symptomatic improvement for the majority of patients.
