Abstract:
The
aim
of
this
immunochromatography
study
was
(ICT),
to
versus
compare
Enzyme
between
linked
immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for detection of IgG antibodies of H.
pylori in patients plasma.
The gold standard for the diagnosis of Helicobacter pylori
infection requires an endoscopic biopsy of gastric mucosa for
histological examination, urease test and culture. Noninvasive
serological tests are useful as a screening test for H. pylori
infection.
This study was carried out during period between June to October
2012, in Khartoum state, and the plasma samples were collected
from three different Hospitals (Khartoum Hospital, Albaraha
Hospital and Yastabshroon Hospital).
One hundred samples were collected,53 males (53%) and 47 were
females (47%). All samples were subjected to ICT and ELISA, 72
were positive (38 males and 34 females), and 28 were negative
by ICT (15 males and 13 females), while by ELISA; 69 were
positive (38 males and 31 females), and 31 negative (15 males
and 16 females).
This study showed that Immunochromatography test ( ICT) is
useful in the diagnosis of H.pylori infection.
