title: [Use of the Clotest and Pyloriset in the identification of Helicobacter pylori in asymptomatic healthy adults].
abstract: The Helicobacter Pylori (Hp) has been related with the pathogenesis of the chronic gastritis, peptic ulcer, non ulcerous dyspepsia, and in the last studies it has been found in a great prevailing way in populations with gastric cancer risks. The purpose of this study was to determine the presence of Hp in asymptomatic adults, volunteers, healthy, by means of the utilization of two diacritic tests, a serologic test for the determination of antibody IgG anti Hp (Pyloriset) and the tests Urease (Clotest) relating it with the development of lesions. We studied 20 persons, from whom we took peripheral blood samples for the determination of Hp by means of the agglutination test of latex (Pyloriset) and a superior digestive endoscopy was carried out (SDE) with a gastric biopsy for the Tests of Ureasa (Clotest). In 15 adults (75%) the clotest was positive and in 13 persons (65%) the pyloriset was positive. In 9 persons (47%) the Hp was evidence by both methods. In 13 (65%) the SDE was pathological concluded and all were positive for the Hp. In 7 (35%) the SDE resulted normal. The presence of the antibody against the, Hp predicts alterations of the gastric mucosa like the development of the chronic gastritis, peptic ulcer and other pathologies. The Clotest is a simple tests, quick and sensible that allows us to apply immediate treatment. Our results suggest a high incidence of this bacteria in our workers, which justifies high prospective studies to determine same.
