THE PROGNOSTIC CRITERIA OF FINDING CONCOMITANT H. PYLORI IN PATIENTS WITH ACUTE INTESTINAL INFECTIONS

Abstract

Study objective: To assess the probability of finding H. pylori markers in patients with acute intestinal infections (AII) and laboratory findings indicative of the disease. Materials and methods: Sixty-nine AII patients were tested for the presence of helicobacter. Two groups were distinguished: in the main group (33 patients), H. pylori infection was confirmed by specific IgG in blood serum and PCR findings in feces; in the control group, there were no laboratory findings indicative of H. pylori. Results: The probability to find H. pylori-specific IgG in AII patients increases 3,9 times upon each consecutive day of abdominal pain persistence (p<0,01) and 1,4 times upon each consecutive vomiting episode (p<0,05). The probability of positive PCR findings increases 6,6 times upon each consecutive day of fever (p<0,01) and 1.4 times upon each consecutive vomiting episode (p<0,05). Conclusion: Testing for H. pylori markers is indicated for AII patients having complaints about multiple vomiting episodes and persistent abdominal pain and fever.
