abstract = {In our paper we decided to evaluate the hypothesis about the relation between living conditions, infection with Helicobacter pylori and development of allergic problems. Two groups of children, one from the Roma population and one from the majority population, were chosen for this study. Comparing the levels of total IgE and specific IgE antibodies, IgA and IgG Helicobacter pylori antibodies in both populations, we found significant differences in all tested aspects. We conclude that changes in lifestyle together with changes in improvements in living conditions and reduction of risk factors can significantly influence the health conditions of thepopulation and overall quality of life.},
