Detection of helicobacter pylori IgG in diabetic patients and non-diabetic

الملخص EN

Diabetes mellitus is one of the important causes of dyspepsia.

The incidence of H.

pylori is increased in diabetes mellitus.

A total of ninety two (92) blood samples which include sixty two (62) samples for diabetic patient and thirty (30) samples non-diabetic as a control from November 2012 – March 2013 in private laborotary (Ibn- Alnafes) in Basra city.

All samples were subjected to assessment of fasting blood sugar (FBS) level and detection of H.

pylori antibodies (H.

pylori IgG)# by enzyme linked immunoabsorbent assay (ELIZA).

The highest frequency of H.pylori was in diabetic patients 54/62(87%), while non diabetic patients (as control), was 3/30(10).

Statistically the differences were significant (P < 0.05) among diabetic and non-diabetic patients with H.

pylori.

For the diabetic patients, of the total 37/62(60%) males, 32/37(86%) showed positive test for H.

pylori IgG, while 22/25(88%) out of 25/62( 40 %) females, showed positive test of for H.

pylori IgG, but the difference was statistically non significant (P > 0.05).For non diabetic group, of the total 18/30(60 %) males, 2/18(11%) showed positive test for H.

pylori, and of the total 12/30( 40%) females, 1/12(8%) showed positive test for H.pylori IgG but the differences was statistically non significant (P > 0.05) Age of patients and control range from 20-80 years, for diabetic and non-diabetic patients, the highest detection rates of H.

pylori IgG was recorded in the age group (41-60) years, 33/37(89%) and 2/10(20%) respectively, while the lowest detection rate were recorded in the age group (20-40) years, 10/13(77%) and 0/10(0%) respectively.

Statistically, the differences was significant (P < 0.05) among these age groups.-
