Abstract

The importance of the immunological test for the detection of Helicobacter pylori in people from 20 to 40 years old coming from the Gastroenterology area and attending the Clinical Laboratory of the General Provincial Teaching Hospital Riobamba was determined. The deductive method was used to compare the quantitative and qualitative methods. A total of 210 samples were taken during a period from November 2013 to January 2014. The presence of Helicobacter pylori infection was determined with 139 cases being 27% male patients and 73% female patients aged between 20 and 40 years using the blood sample and for the detection with the help of the immunological test. The IMMULITE/ IMMULITE 1000 H. pylori IgG kit is a solid phase chemiluminescent chemiluminescent immunometric (2-step) assay. The usefulness of the assay for in vitro diagnostic analysis with the IMMULITE and IMMULITE 1000 analyzers - for the qualitative detection of IgG antibodies to Helicobacter Pylori. According to the results obtained, the method that presents the greatest diagnostic utility for the detection of Helicobacter pylori in the Hospital Provincial General Docente Riobamba is the immunological method because it is a method of greater sensitivity and specificity with respect to the other method, which is the stool antigen. It is recommended to health professionals to use this immunological method because it has greater specificity and sensitivity to the presence of Helicobacter pylori.
