Helicobacter pylori (Helicobacter pylori) is a gram-negative bacterium that colonizes in the stomach and duodenum. It causes peptic ulcer, gastritis and duodenitis. It has been suggested to be a factor in gastric cancer.

It is the only microorganism that can survive in the high acid environment of the stomach. Infection is most likely to occur via the oral route, being more common in poor areas with poor hygiene and limited access to antibiotics.

Xapaĸtepнo for Xeliĸoбaĸtep Πilopi is that once it enters the body, it can develop for decades without manifesting itself through specific symptoms. However, the absence of such does not mean that the disease does not have a negative impact on the body.
In some cases, when the symptoms of acute infection with Xeliĸoбaĸtep Πilopi appear, they are usually expressed in a ĸopeĸmna bleb, dicĸomfopt in the ĸopeĸmn area, burning, lifting, ĸicely, feeling heavy after eating or hunger even though you have just eaten well.

There are various serological (blood) tests to prove HP infection. These allow quantification of infection. Modern tests have a high sensitivity in areas with a high incidence of infection, such as our country. Serological tests for Ig A indicate acute or reinfection with the causative agent.Antibodies of this class have a shorter half-life and therefore H. pylori IgA levels change more rapidly after treatment than those of H. pylori IgG. The results assist the clinician in the course of the disease and therapy.

What are the tests to detect Helicobacter pylori?
1. Antigen /feces/ testing – for evaluation and diagnosis of treatment
2. Test for antibodies / IgA and IgG/ from blood – it is desirable to test both antibodies simultaneously before and
after treatment

When is it advisable to test for Helicobacter pylori?
Examination is necessary for indigestion, intermittent abdominal pain, weight loss, inappetence, feeling of fullness and bloating, nausea, belching, first-degree relatives with stomach cancer, and for all patients over 45 years of age with additional worrisome symptoms (anemia, weight loss, food absorption disorders, bloody or black stools), follow-up examination after treatment.
