This study aimed to determine the prevalence of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) among the residents of Tobruk in October 2023. Samples were collected from the Ibn-Rushed Laboratory, and 362 cases were statistically analyzed for bacterial infection. The results showed that 174 out of 362 cases (48.06%) were positive for H. pylori, 178 cases (49.17%) were negative, and 10 cases (2.76%) were borderline. Furthermore, the study investigated the effect of H. pylori infection on hematological parameters using 50 samples (30 females and 20 males). The results revealed that males showed a decrease in mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH) (45%), hemoglobin (HGB) (55%), and plateletcrit (PCT) (40%), along with an increase in mean platelet volume (MPV) (45%) and PCT (50%). In females, MPV and PCT showed a mean increase of 83.3%, with other blood values remaining within the normal range. This study concluded that the population in the Tobruk region has a considerably high frequency of H. pylori infection, with significant effects on hematological parameters.
