AIM:To evaluate the reliability of the Helicobacter pyloristool antigen test,ImmunoCard STAT HpSA,for detectingH pylori infection.METHODS:Stool specimens were collected from 53 patientswho received upper endoscopy examination due togastrointestinal symptoms.ImmunoCard STAT HpSA wasused to detect H pyloristool antigens.Hpyloriinfection wasdetected based on three different tests:the urease test,Warthin-Starry staining and culture.H pylori status wasdefined as positive when both the urease test and histologyor culture alone was positive.RESULTS:Sensitivity,specificity,positive predictive andnegative predictive values and the total accuracy ofImmunoCard STAT HpSA for the diagnosis of Hpyloriinfectionwere 92.6% (25/27),88.5% (23/26),89.3% (25/28),92%(23/25) and 90.6% (48/531),respectively.CONCLUSION:The stool antigen test,ImmunoCard STATHpSA,is a simple noninvasive and accurate test for thediagnosis of H pylori infection.
AIM: To evaluate the reliability of the Helicobacter pyloristool antigen test, ImmunoCard STAT HpSA, for detecting H pylori infection. METHODS: Stool specimens were collected from 53 patients with upper upper colonoscopy due to gastrotrointestinal symptoms. ImmunoCard STAT HpSA wasused to detect H pyloristool antigens. Hpylori infection wasdetected based on three different tests: the urease test, Warthin-Starry staining and culture. H pylori status wasdefined as positive when both urease test and histologyor culture alone was positive .RESULTS: Sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive andnegative predictive values and the total accuracy of ImmunoCard STAT HpSA for the diagnosis of Hpylori infectionwere 92.6% (25/27), 88.5% (23/26), 89.3% (25/28), 92% (23/25) and 90.6% (48/531) respectively .CONCLUSION: The stool antigen test, ImmunoCard STATHpSA, is a simple noninvasive and accurate test for the diagnosis of the H pylori infection.
