Abstract:Objective To investigate the rate of helicobacter pylori (Hp) infection by using antibody typing detection, and to analyze the value of Hp antibody type in diagnose of Hp infection and its risk factors. Methods The patients accepted Hp antibody typing from July 2017 to Dec 2017 were selected from Jinan Central Hospital affiliated to Shandong University. According to Hp antibody type, all patients were divided into 2 groups, type I and type II. Whether or not with Hp related diseases were recorded, and UBT (Urea Breath Test UBT) were performed one week before or after Hp antibody type detection. Results In total, there were 462 patients accepted Hp antibody type detection, and the total infection rate was 66.2%; 43.7% of patients were defined type I and 22.5% were defined type II. The most common antibody type cagA, vacA, ureA and ureB were positive. Age, Hp related diseases, appendicitis and drinking were statistically different among the three groups, which were independent risk factors for the Hp infection (P < 0.05). UBT positive rate of patients with type I were higher than that of type II (P < 0.05). The positive coincidence rate of UBT and antibody typing was 80.55%, and the negative coincidence rate was 86.88%, and the total coincidence rate was 84.53%. Conclusions The Hp infection rate in this area was high. Age, Hp related diseases, appendicitis and drinking were the high risk factors of the Hp infection. UBT combine with antibody type can be useful in diagnosing and classifying Hp Infection.
