title: Detection of Helicobacter pylori infections in patients with gastric syndrome.
abstract: Results of microbiological and serological studies, as well as QUT (quick urease test) test done for 204 patients with upper gastrointestinal tract's complaints are presented in this paper. Microbiological studies and QUT test were done with mucous membrane biopsies, taken during gastroscopy or during surgery. Serological studies were performed triple on commercial latex tests and on ELISA-test. Results obtained by QUT test, microbiological and serological studies were comparable. ELISA-test can be recommended as reference test for detection of H. pylori infections.
