Diagnostic Accuracy of Polyclonal Stool Antigen for Detection of Helicobacter Pylori Infection in Children
Introduction: Helicobacter pylori infection has various clinical features. One of the most common presentations of this infection is upper abdominal pain. Complications such as gastritis, gastric ulcer, gastric carcinoma and MALT lymphoma mandate early diagnosis of H.P infection by a low cost and non invasive manner. The aim of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic role of H.P stool antige...
متن کاملStool Antigen Tests for the Detection of Helicobacter Pylori in Children
Stool specimens from 102 children (median age = 6.0 years; Helicobacter pylori in biopsy specimens, n = 43) were tested for H. pylori with the monoclonal antibody-based enzyme immunoassay HpStar. In 28 cases, the specimen was obtained with a rectal cotton swab during endoscopy. The sensitivity and specificity of the HpStar were 0.95 and 0.90, respectively, as compared with biopsy-based methods....
متن کاملAccuracy of Helicobacter pylori stool antigen for the detection of Helicobacter pylori infection in dyspeptic patients.
AIM The premier platinum Helicobacter pylori (H pylori) stool antigen (HpSA) test is an enzyme immunoassay (EIA) that detects an H pylori antigen present in human stools. However, at present there is no uniformity about the cut off level required to consider the test as positive or negative. So we need the cut off level for our local population. The aim of this study was to evaluate the HpSA fo...
متن کاملDetermination of Helicobacter pylori Antigen in Stool Samples and Comparison with Rapid Urease Test in Patients Suspected of Helicobacter Infection
Background and Aims: Helicobacter pylori (H. Pylori) is the microorganism that infects nearly half of word's population. There are several invasive and non-invasive methods for diagnosis of infection. The main objective of this study was to evaluate antigen of H. Pylori in feces with H. pylori stool antigen (HpSA) test and comparison with rapid urease test (RUT) in the patients suspected to be ...
متن کاملCurrent role of Helicobacter pylori stool tests.
Helicobacter pylori stool tests are an accurate and noninvasive tool to assess H. pylori status before and after treatment. We are convinced that the current technical shortcomings of H. pylori stool tests, i.e. inter-test variability and reduced specificity after treatment, can be overcome in the near future. The availability of an office-based stool test would offer a considerable advantage s...
