Helicobacter pylori is a worldwide infection, although little data are available in the Tunisian population. The aims of our study were to detect the prevalence of H. pylori in a blood-donor population (n=250) and in another population of hospital-consulting patients comprising 87 symptomatic patients and 59 controls, and to determine the factors that influence the prevalence.
Study subjects answered a standardized questionnaire, and IgG anti-H. pylori and anti-cag were detected by ELISA. In the second population, culture and cagA polymerase chain reaction were performed.
The seroprevalence of H. pylori in blood donors was 64%, and 11% had anti-cag. All patients positive for anti-cag were also positive for anti-H. pylori antibodies. The seroprevalence of H. pylori was 99.3% in the hospital-consulting patients, of whom 55.5% were positive for anti-cag. The difference between the anti-cag and symptomatic patients (66.7%) and controls (39%) was significant. Symptomatic patients had a higher rate of anti-cag (66.7%) compared with the controls (39%) and blood donors (11%).
H. pylori seroprevalence in blood donors is low (64%) compared with symptomatic patients (99.3%), and anti-cag was statistically associated with symptomatic patients and pathology. Also, some environmental factors were correlated with H. pylori seroprevalence.
幽门螺杆菌感染在全球范围内普遍存在,不过关于突尼斯人群的相关数据较少。我们研究的目的是检测献血者人群(n = 250)以及另一组由87名有症状患者和59名对照组成的医院门诊患者人群中幽门螺杆菌的感染率,并确定影响感染率的因素。
研究对象回答一份标准化问卷,采用酶联免疫吸附测定法检测抗幽门螺杆菌IgG和抗细胞毒素相关基因A(cagA)抗体。对第二组人群进行培养和cagA聚合酶链反应检测。
献血者中幽门螺杆菌血清阳性率为64%,11%的人有抗cagA抗体。所有抗cagA阳性患者的抗幽门螺杆菌抗体也呈阳性。医院门诊患者中幽门螺杆菌血清阳性率为99.3%,其中55.5%的人抗cagA呈阳性。抗cagA抗体在有症状患者(66.7%)和对照(39%)之间的差异具有统计学意义。与对照(39%)和献血者(11%)相比,有症状患者的抗cagA抗体阳性率更高(66.7%)。
与有症状患者(99.3%)相比,献血者中幽门螺杆菌血清阳性率较低(64%),抗cagA抗体与有症状患者及病理情况存在统计学关联。此外,一些环境因素与幽门螺杆菌血清阳性率相关。
