C-Reactive Protein and Immunoglobulin Isotypes Concentrations in Helicobacter Pylori Sero-Positive Children Attending a Tertiary Health Institution in Uyo, Nigeria
Author(s): Itemobong Ekaidem
Abstract Background: C-reactive protein (CRP) is an inflammatory acute phase protein known to support active immunological responses during infection or tissue injury. Aim: This study aimed to determine the concentrations of CRP, IgM and IgG immunoglobulin isotypes in children with Helicobacter pylori infection with a view to assessing the extent of infection and host immune and inflammatory responses. Method: seventy-four (74) H. pylori sero-positive children were assigned into 3 groups based on their predominant immunoglobulin isotypes, namely Group 1: IgM+ve, Group 2: IgM+ve/IgG+ve and Group 3: IgG+ve. The concentrations of CRP using immunoturbidimetric method, age and body temperature of the children were determined. History of abdominal symptoms were also taken. Results: The result... view more»
