Abstract
AIM: To determine the effects of measuring serum anti-HpIgG in high altitade Hp infection.
METHODS: The serum anti-HpIgG was measured by a ELISA and the stomach mucosa Hp was investigated in MB staining. The results were companed.
RESULTS: Of 542 healthing donors, both 198 serum anti-HpIgG and 187 stomach mucosa Hp were positive; companed with these 398 serum anti-HpIgG and 402 stomach mucosa Hp were positive in the stomach disease group. The differences of two group were not significant (P > 0.05) and the false positive/or negative was a little.
CONCLUSION: These results suggest that a synergistic measurement of both serum anti-HpIgG and stomach mucosa Hp were important steps in determining of high altitade Hp infection.
