Salivary specific IgG is a sensitive indicator of the humoral immune response to Helicobacter pylori

Abstract In humans, salivary antibodies are secreted during humoral immune response. Helicobacter pylori infection is associated with systemic humoral immune response reflected by raised serum levels of specific IgG. The present study was aimed at exploring whether salivary concentrations of specific H. pylori IgG are a reliable indicator of H. pylori infection. Serum and salivary samples were obtained from 291 subjects attending the GI clinic and tested for H. pylori -specific IgG by a direct ELISA (94% sensitivity, 95% specificity for serum determinations) using a crude H. pylori sonicate as antigen. Data are given as optical density (mean±S.D.). Levels of salivary H. pylori IgG paralleled those of circulating specific IgG in the 291 subjects studied (0.981±0.431 vs. 0.777±0.682, respectively). A significant positive correlation was found between specific H. pylori IgG in sera and saliva samples (r = 0.981, P < 0.0001). An overall concordance between circulating and salivary H. pylori IgG was observed in 238 out of the 291 (81.7%) subjects. Salivary H. pylori IgG represent a sensitive marker of specific humoral immune response and they may substitute circulating H. pylori IgG measurement when sera samples are not available.     

Organ-specific autoantibodies in children with Helicobacter pylori infection

BACKGROUND: We compared the prevalence of organ-specific autoantibodies in a group of Helicobacter pylori infected children and a group of uninfected children and investigated the relationship between the presence of relevant autoantibodies and the status of the target organs. PATIENTS AND METHODS: One hundred and twenty-four children with dyspepsia (54 boys, 70 girls; mean age 10.5 years; range 4-19) underwent gastroscopy: 56 had H. pylori infection (31 girls, 25 boys), while 68 (37 girls and 31 boys), were H. pylori-negative. All sera were tested for the presence of: parietal cell autoantibodies (PCA), intrinsic factor autoantibodies (IFA), microsomial autoantibodies, thyroglobulin autoantibodies, islet cell autoantibodies, glutamic acid decarboxylase autoantibodies, adrenal cortex autoantibodies, steroid-producing cell autoantibodies; gastrin, pepsinogen A, pepsinogen C and anti-H. pylori antibodies. The histological features and the ureA and cagA genes were also considered. RESULTS: The frequency of organ-specific autoantibodies was higher in patients with H. pylori infection than in uninfected patients (chi2-test p < .0001). Specifically gastric autoantibodies were significantly higher: seven of the 56 H. pylori-positive children were PCA-positive and one was IFA-positive (chi2-test p = .0004). The presence of autoantibodies was not associated with any clinical or biohumoral signs of disease. CONCLUSIONS: Our study detected a relationship between H. pylori infection in childhood and the presence of organ-specific autoantibodies unassociated with any clinical or biohumoral signs of disease. Helicobacter pylori infection in childhood could trigger the onset of clinical autoimmune gastritis, and/or other clinical autoimmune diseases.

A population-based survey on gastrointestinal tract symptoms and Helicobacter pylori infection in children and adolescents

Background. Helicobacter pylori infection is a frequent infection mainly acquired in childhood. Even if the infection is almost invariably associated with mild to severe gastro‐duodenal lesions, no specific clinical picture has been identified. The aim of this study was to evaluate the presence of dyspeptic symptoms and their relationship with the presence of H. pylori infection in the first two decades of life. Materials and Methods. A school‐population sample size of 808 subjects from 6‐ to 19‐year‐olds was investigated for the presence of gastrointestinal tract symptoms and evaluated by a ¹³C‐urea breath test for H. pylori infection. The relationship between clinical findings and H. pylori infection was evaluated by χ² statistic or Fisher's exact test, as appropriate. Results. Symptoms of dyspepsia were identified in 45% of subjects, while the picture of ulcer‐like and dysmotility‐like forms were present in 3–4%. H. pylori infection was demonstrated in 95 (11.8%) subjects, 49.5% of them without symptoms. Severe epigastric pain and ulcer‐like dyspepsia were significantly associated with H. pylori infection, while recurrent abdominal pain or dysmotility‐like dyspepsia were not. Conclusions. Dyspeptic symptoms are frequent in children, and its association with H. pylori infection is more evident than with recurrent abdominal pain. The age at which the infection is acquired seems to be under 6 years of age.     

Comparison of stool antigen immunoassay and serology for screening for Helicobacter pylori infection in intellectually disabled children

Diagnosis of active Helicobacter pylori infection in intellectually disabled (ID) children is problematic because they are unable to cooperate with performance of invasive tests. In this study, the non‐invasive methods of measuring serum IgG antibody concentrations and performing stool antigen tests were used to screen for H. pylori infection in ID children. Eighty‐seven children with intellectual disabilities were studied. The amount of serum IgG antibody against H. pylori was measured by the ELISA method. Stool samples were examined using an amplified IDEIA HpStAR kit. To assess categorical variables, X², Fisher's exact and Kappa tests were used. The stool antigen tests showed that 93.1% of the children had H. pylori antigen and the serology test that 85.1% of children were positive for H. pylori IgG antibodies. Agreement between results of H. pylori stool antigen (HpSA) testing and IgG antibody serology was 82.8%; however, according to the kappa measure of agreement this agreement is not statistically significant (value, 0.128; P = 0.19). Discordant results were observed for 15 children (17.2%): 11 (12.6%) who were positive on HpSA test but negative by serology and 4 (4.6%) who were IgG seropositive but had negative HpSA tests. This study showed a notably higher rate of H. pylori infection in ID children than has been reported by others for non‐ID children from the same geographical area. The HpSA test is a valid method for primary screening for H. pylori infection in ID children; it detects the specific antigens shed during active infections and has less cross‐reactivity than serological tests that detect antibodies. HpSA is a sensitive non‐invasive method for detecting infection in ID children and may serve as an accurate alternative to serology.     

Antibiotics resistance of Helicobacter pylori in children with upper gastrointestinal symptoms in Hangzhou,China

Background

The decreasing eradication rate of Helicobacter pylori is mainly because of the progressive increase in its resistance to antibiotics. Studies on antimicrobial susceptibility of H. pylori in children are limited. This study aimed to investigate the resistance rates and patterns of H. pylori strains isolated from children.

Materials and Methods

Gastric mucosa biopsy samples obtained from children who had undergone upper gastrointestinal endoscopy were cultured for H. pylori, and susceptibility to six antibiotics (clarithromycin, amoxicillin, gentamicin, furazolidone, metronidazole, and levofloxacin) was tested from 2012‐2014.

Results

A total of 545 H. pylori strains were isolated from 1390 children recruited. The total resistance rates of H. pylori to clarithromycin, metronidazole, and levofloxacin were 20.6%, 68.8%, and 9.0%, respectively. No resistance to amoxicillin, gentamicin, and furazolidone was detected. 56.1% strains were single resistance, 19.6% were resistant to more than one antibiotic, 16.7% for double resistance, and 2.9% for triple resistance in 413 strains against any antibiotic. And the H. pylori resistance rate increased significantly from 2012‐2014. There was no significant difference in the resistance rates to clarithromycin, metronidazole, and levofloxacin between different gender, age groups, and patients with peptic ulcer diseases or nonulcer diseases.

Conclusions

Antibiotic resistance was indicated in H. pylori strains isolated from children in Hangzhou, and it increased significantly during the 3 years. Our data strongly support current guidelines, which recommend antibiotic susceptibility tests prior to eradication therapy.     

Decreasing trend of Helicobacter pylori infection in children with gastrointestinal symptoms from Buenos Aires, Argentina

Background: Helicobacter pylori infection is declining in developed and developing countries. The aim of this study was to retrospectively evaluate over an 8‐year period the rate of H. pylori infection in children with gastrointestinal symptoms from Buenos Aires, Argentina. Materials and Methods: We reviewed the records of children referred from 2002 to 2009 to the gastroenterology unit of the Children Hospital “Superiora Sor Maria Ludovica” for evaluation of upper gastrointestinal signs and symptoms in which the ¹³C‐urea breath test was performed to diagnose H. pylori infection and a sociodemographic questionnaire was obtained. Results: Records of a total of 1030 children and adolescents with a mean age of 9.99 years were included in the analysis. We found an H. pylori prevalence of 41.2% (95% CI, 36.9–46.0%) for the triennium 2002–2004, dropping to 26.0% (95% CI, 20.7–31.8%) in the triennium 2007–2009. Conclusion: Our results showed a significant decrease in H. pylori infection rates from children referred for upper gastrointestinal symptoms evaluation from 2002 to 2009, following the H. pylori epidemiologic trend reported in other countries.

Seroepidemiology of Helicobacter pylori infection in Greece

Abstract Helicobacter pylori infection is strongly associated with chronic gastritis and peptic ulceration. As the prevalence of H. pylrori infection in southern European populations is not known, a serological survey of 1069 samples from three different age groups in the Greek population was carried out with an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for antibodies to these bacteria. The antigen was an ultracentrifuged supernate of whole cell sonicates of 5 isolates of H. pylori assessed by electrophoresis and by immunoblotting with negative and positive sera. The sensitivity of the test was 97.43% and the specificity 100% for IgG antibodies; IgA and IgM antibodies to the antigen preparation were not found. Antibodies to H. pylori were detected among 39.49% of children aged 1–10 years, 67.1% of recruits (20–27 years) and 70% of blood donors (20–50 years). The prevalence of antibodies did not differ iwth sex in each of the age groups. The proportion of individuals with antibodies to H. pylori was higher in the younger age groups than those reported for similar age groups in Western Europe.
