Detection of Helicobacter Species In Chronic Liver Diseases and Chronic Inflammatory Bowel Diseases In Human And Calves

This study include 87 diseased calves suffering - fromgastrointestinal disturbances (vomition, diarrhoea and colic), ten (10)apparently healthy calves, 53 diseased persons (from attendance of thefarm) previously diagnosed as hepatitis persons and havinggastrointestinal disturbances and (10) ten normal persons. Isolationand identification of H. pylori were done to detect the prevalence ofthe infection in human and calves.The results showed that the incidence in calves reached 9.19% bythe cultural method.The incidence in diseased patients reached 50.9% by biopsyurease test and 41.5% by the cultural method.While the incidence in the apparently healthy reached 30% bybiopsy urease test and 40% by cultural methods.The use of ELISA (indirect method) on the serum samples ofdiseased calves revealed that 17 samples were positive and harbouringthe specific Helicobacter pylori antibodies with a percentage of(19.54%) and 30% in the apparently healthy calves.On the other hand, the results of ELISA in the sera of diseasedpatients revealed that 36 samples were positive for the presence of H.pylori antibodies with a percentage of (67.9%) and 40% in apparentlyhealthy attendance.
