幽门螺杆菌粪便抗原检测及其与胃粘膜抗原检测的对比研究

目的 评价幽门螺杆菌（Ｈｐ）粪便抗原检测方法的可靠性及准确性。方法 用ＥＬＩＳＡ试剂盒对２２４例接受胃镜检查患者的粪便标本进行幽门螺杆菌抗原检测,同时对部分病例进行胃粘膜活组织抗原的检测,以快速尿素酶试验、组织学染色和培养检测Ｈｐ作为“金标准”,三项检查中至少两项阳性判定为Ｈｐ感染。结果 “金标准”诊断Ｈｐ感染阳性１３７例,阴性８７例。“金标准”阳性的１３７例中１３２例粪便抗原检测阳性,阴性８７例

Evaluation and comparison of the Helicobacter pylori stool antigen test and the gastric mucosal antigen test

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the reliability of an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay by the Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) stool antigen test for the detection of H. pylori infection. METHODS: Stool specimens were collected from 224 patients who received upper gastrointestinal endoscopic examination for gastrointestinal symptoms. H. pylori status was evaluated by five different tests: culture, histology, biopsy rapid urease test, H. pylori stool antigen test, and H. pylori gastric active mucosal antigen test (parts of the patients). A commercial kit using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was used to examined H. pylori antigen in the stool or in the gastric active mucosa. H. pylori status was defined as positive when two of the three tests (culture, histology and biopsy rapid urease test) were positive. RESULTS: 137 patients were diagnosed as H. pylori-positive. The H. pylori stool antigen test was positive in 143 patients and negative in 81 patients. The sensitivity and specificity were 96.4% and 87.4%, respectively. The overall accuracy was 92.9%. 39 patients were examined H. pylori antigen in the gastric active mucosa, and 27/39 were diagnosed as H. pylori-positive. The H. pylori gastric active mucosal antigen test was positive in 28 patients and negative in 11 patients. The H. pylori stool antigen test was positive in 30 patients and negative in 9 patients. The corresponding rate between gastric active mucosa and stool was 94.9%. CONCLUSION: The H. pylori stool antigen test is a simple, non-invasive method for accurate diagnosis of H. pylori infection.
