Core Tip	The association between Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection and Crohn's disease (CD) prevalence is still unclear. In this retrospective study, we collected 229 CD patients and 248 control subjects to investigate the risk factors for prevalence, extent and severity of CD. Through extensive analysis, we found significantly lower H. pylori infection rates in CD patients having different disease extent and severity, providing evidence for bacteria involvement in CD pathogenesis and serving as a reminder for clinicians to remain cautious when considering H. pylori eradication in CD patients.
