Abstract:
Helicobacter Pylori is a gram negative, motile microorganism that is one of the major causes of chronic gastritis. Helicobacter pylori can be detected by routine hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) stain but the detection should be supported by special stains like Giemsa stain, Warthin-Starry stain, and Modified Methylene blue and Alcian blue. Aim: This study aims to compare the results in detecting H. pylori obtained on special stains like Giemsa stain and Warthin-Starry stain along with H&E stain. Materials and Methods: A prospective study was conducted among 50 upper GI tract endoscopic biopsies obtained from patients presenting with upper GI symptoms like dyspepsia, epigastric pain, hyperacidity at Surgery OPD in a tertiary care hospital. The sensitivity, specificity, PPV and NPV of H&E, modified Giemsa stain and Warthin-Starry stain were calculated for detection of H. pylori and comparisons were drawn. Results: Out of the 50 cases, 27 (54%) tested positive for H. pylori and 23 (46%) were negative. Chronic gastritis was the most common histopathological diagnosis with 15 (56%) cases being H. pylori positive. Warthin-starry stain showed the highest sensitivity, specificity, PPV and NPV out of all three stains. Conclusion: This study highlighted that although routine H&E and Giemsa staining is simple, rapid and cost-effective method in comparison to Warthin starry stain which is costlier and time consuming yet proved to be the gold standard for diagnosis of H. pylori due to its high sensitivity, specificity, PPV and NPV and good colour contrast.
