Summary:
Background. Helicobacter pylori participates significantly on the pathogeny of chronic gastritis, duodenal and
gastric ulcer, carcinoma and lymphoma of the stomach. There are some more diseases requiring attention – for
example cardiovascular, dermatologic, and autoimmune.
Methods and Results. Helicobacter pylori was detected in saliva and faeces of 28 persons by the Premier platinum
HpSA diagnostic set. Levels of IgA and IgG antibodies were determined by EIA and Western Blott methods.
Parameters of salivary immunity were investigated as well. Levels of IgG, SIgA, IgM, lysozyme and albumin were
determined. Recommended therapy of Helicobacter infection led to an evident clinical improvement and descent
of the documented Heliobacter pylori antigen.
Key words:
Helicobacter pylori, aphtous stomatitis, saliva.
