Serodetection of anti Helicobacter pylori IgG and IgA Antibodies Among Students Suffering from Gastritis in Different Universities in Khartoum State

Abstract

This was a descriptive and cross sectional study aimed to determine the frequency of anti H. pylori antibodies IgG and IgA using ELISA technique, among students suffering for gastritis in different Universities in Khartoum State from 1 April to 30 June (2015). Ninety serum samples were collectedfrom participants in the study. Males participants were 47/90(52.3%) while females 43/90(47.7%). When theninety ICT positive were tested by ELISA, it wasfoundIgG positive was 89/90(98.8%) and IgA positive was 47/90(52.2%) and from both (IgG and IgA) 47/90(52.8) were positive. From ninety ICT positive only one sample was negative byIgG 1/90(1.2%) and IgA negative was 43/90(47.8%). From both (IgG and IgA) seropositive there was no significant relationship between (IgG and IgA) seropositive and gender (P.value 818), smoking(P.value .719), drinking coffee (P.value .487), familyP.value .693), and alcohol consumption(P.value .092).
