Patients of chronic gastritis should be investigated with gastric mucosal biopsy, parietal cell antibody, intrinsic factor antibody, Helicobacter pylori antibody, urea breath test or faecal antigen test for Helicobacter pylori, to accurately classify them. The results of these tests will indicate Helicobacter pylori infection (present or past), the role of hereditary factor (intrinsic factor an...

BACKGROUND A diagnosis of H. pylori infection can be made by invasive or non-invasive methods. Several noninvasive diagnostic tests based on the detection of H. pylori stool antigen (HpSA) have been developed. The Genx H. pylori stool antigen card test is a new rapid, non-invasive test that is based on monoclonal immunochromatographic assay. The aim of this study was to determine its sensitivit...

As an update to previously published recommendations for the management of Helicobacter pylori infection, an evidence-based appraisal of six topics was undertaken in a consensus conference sponsored by the Canadian Helicobacter Study Group. The issues addressed and recommendations made were: bismuth-containing quadruple therapy is appropriate as an alternative first-line eradication strategy fo...

Among several diagnostic tests, a Helicobacter pylori stool antigen (HpSA) test may offer a useful noninvasive method for diagnosing infection without sacrificing animals. In this study, male C57BL/6 mice (n=6) were infected with H. pylori ATCC 49503 (1×10(8) CFU/mouse) by intragastric inoculation three times at 2-day intervals, and H. pylori infected stool specimens were collected 1, 3, 5, 7, ...

background helicobacter pylori multiplies and causes infection in human gastric mucosal layer. new approaches have focused on using specific treatments, such as immunotherapy, to limit this infection. urease, as one of the most important virulent and antigenic factors of the bacterium, is a suitable target for this purpose. patients and methods in order to prepare recombinant proteins, the synt...

helicobacter pylori is the main cause of gastric ulcer, adenocarcinoma and mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (malt) lymphoma. up to now, different regimens have been used for helicobacter pylori (h.pylori) eradication to find the most potent and cost-effective regimen with less side effects. the aim of this study was to investigate the efficacy of standard triple therapy versus quadruple therap...

Background: Word-wide there is decreasing prevalence of Helicobacter pylori (H. Pylori) infection. As we are lacking in consistent data regarding H. Pylori infection our polpulation, aimed to find out H.pylori patients with dyspepsia Nort-East part Bangladesh. 
 Material and methods: Clinical variables, stool antigen test result endoscopic findings consecutive were recorded a semi-structur...

AIM To compare (1) demographics in urea breath test (UBT) vs endoscopy patients; and (2) the molecular detection of antibiotic resistance in stool vs biopsy samples. METHODS Six hundred and sixteen adult patients undergoing endoscopy or a UBT were prospectively recruited to the study. The GenoType HelicoDR assay was used to detect Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) and antibiotic resistance usin...

Aim: The aim of the study was to find the optimal H. pylori eradication therapy for children in Vietnam, a developing country. Therefore, we evaluated a non-invasive diagnostic method and antibiotic susceptibility of H. pylori strains, the major determinant of treatment outcome, as well as the rate of reinfection after successful eradication, a determinant for the rational of H. pylori eradicat...

aim: the aim of this study was to evaluate the helicobacter pylori eradication in the group receiving standard -dose twice a day for two weeks and continue taking amoxicillin for 4 weeks. background: helicobacter pylori is the major etiological cause of chronic gastritis, gastric and duodenal ulcers, gastric cancer and lymphoma and therefore, patient should be treated after diagnosis of h. pylo...
