Notes
H.pylori is a spiral, flagellated gram-negative bacteria. It colonizes the gastric epithelium of humans and plays a causative role in a variety of gastrointestinal disorders including non-ulcer dyspepsia, duodenal and gastric ulcers, active and chronic gastritis and perhaps the gastric cancer1-9. The WHO has designated it as a Class I carcinogen5. In patients with signs and symptoms of gastritis, duodenal ulcer or non-ulcer dyspepsia the prevalence rates for H.pylori infection can exceed 90 percent. Among subjects with a parental history of stomach cancer a much higher prevalence of H.pylori infection is observed6. The detection of the specific IgG antibodies to H.pylori has been shown to be an accurate method for the detection of H.pylori in symptomatic patients. However, H.pylori may colonize some asymptomatic persons. Several types of immunological tests such as ELISA, Western blots, Recombinant Immunoblot Assays and DNA-based assays are currently used for the detection of H.pylori9. This Cypress H.pylori test is a rapid and user friendly immunochromato-graphic test.
