Isolated terminal ileitis (ITI) is a phenomenon often observed during colonoscopy, but in most cases, the specific etiology of ITI is unclear. Helicobacter pylori ( H. pylori ) infection has been reported to be associated with a wide variety of diseases, especially gastrointestinal diseases. Here, we conducted a retrospective study to explore a potential correlation between H. pylori infection and unexplained ITI (UITI).
