Can Helicobacter Pylori Infection Cause Non-Hodgkin S Lymphoma?
Can H pylori cause Non Hodgkin lymphoma. I have this lymphoma and was responding well to treatment, and them a scan showed the lymph nodes near my colon were active. I am waiting for the results. I do actually hear a little rumbling in my stomach, but no pain. I had an upper GI and Colonoscopy in Nov of last year, and they said there was some inflammation, but did not say it was H pylori.

Hello,
Chronic H pylori infection can cause long-standing gastritis and thus Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma.
NHL can occur in the absence of H. pylori infection.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
