Comparative Evaluation Of Direct Demonstration Of H. Pylori In Gram Stained Gastric Biopsy Smear Methods And Elisa Based Igg Antibodies Detection For Diagnosis Of Helicobacter Pylori Infection In Cases Of Dyspepsia

G. U. Kavathia

Abstract :

85 gastric biopsy specimens and 85 serum samples of same patients complaining of dyspepsia were collected. Biopsy specimens were processed for Gram staining. Serum samples were used for detecting H. pylori IgG antibodies using a commercially available rapid indirect solid phase ELISA kit. Gram staining was positive in 30 (35.3%). Significant IgG levels were detected in 39 (45.9%) cases. It was therefore concluded that H.pylori infection is present in a substantial number of patients with acid peptic diseases and determination of IgG levels can act as an important noninvasive screening test..
