Нelicobacter pylori as etiological factor of acute pancreatitis and marker of its purulent-septic complications development

Abstract

Objective. Studying of role of Нelicobacter pylori as etiological factor of acute pancreatitis and marker of development of its purulent-septic complications.

Маterials and methods. Screening investigation was performed in all 124 patients, suffering acute pancreatitis and admitted to hospital; then a screening investigation of Нelicobacter pylori in feces and the blood serological investigation was conducted. In 39 (31.5%) patients bacteriological investigation of biological material for revealing of Нelicobacter pylori was conducted. The patients were distributed into two groups: the main - 66 patients with severe and with a middle severity course of acute pancreatitis and a control one - 58 patients with light course of acute pancreatitis.

Results. Positive results of fecal express-test were obtained in 105 (84.7%) patients. In accordance to the blood serological investigations results in 24 h from the admittance to hospital moment in a control group a positive result was obtained in 8 (13.8%) patients, and in the main - in 23 (34.8%); while in 7 days - in 9 (15.5%) and 42 (63.6%) patients, accordingly. Аntibiotics, which are applied for therapy in purulent-septic complications of acute pancreatitis, guarantee the efficacy of eradication of Нelicobacter pylori in 94.9% patients.

Conclusion. The enhancement of quantity of the blood positive serological investigations by 28.8% (р < 0.001) in patients of the main group in 7 days from the admittance to the hospital date trusts, that Нelicobacter pylori constitutes not the only one etiological factor in acute pancreatitis, but a possible marker of development of its purulent-septic complications as well.
