In this study, we have investigated the current situation of Helicobacter pylori infection with a real-time PCR assay, our routine culture method, and a rapid urease test in Southern Denmark. 52 patients who came to gastric endoscopy examination on the two hospitals in Southern Denmark were taken to the study. All the biopsy samples were cultured and further examined for antibiotic resistance i...

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...

back ground and amis: among the patients who go to physicians, especially to gastroentero logists, a great number consists of the onse suffering upper gi diseases, particularly peptic ulcer disease (pud) which,â  in addition to creating much pain and lowering the quality of life causes a great morbidity and â mortality. so it seems necessary to be cured.â according to the lastâ  researchesâ  th...

Background: Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is considered as one of the most prevalent gastric infections which cause chronic gastritis and predispose to cancer stomach. So, diagnosis and eradication should be rapid to decrease the risk of gastric cancer. Aim of the study: To evaluate the role of rapid urease test (RUT) and faecal antigen test (FAT) added to serological test for rapid diagnosis...

OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS To investigate the allelic prevalence of resistance to clarithromycin in the DNA of clinical isolates of Helicobacter pylori obtained from biopsy specimens of patients with chronic tonsillitis by Scorpion real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR). STUDY DESIGN Pathologic specimens of patients with chronic tonsillitis were used for rapid urease test, and blocks of paraffi...
