“…The authors concluded that as the incidence of H. pylori infection was no greater in IC, it is unlikely to be the cause of IC [9]. However, the ELISA used can be problematic; false‐positive and false‐negative results are common [10], and it fails to recognize the coccoid forms of the organism [2].…”

Screening for Helicobacter pylori in dyspeptic patients may improve selectivity for gastroscopy. Rapid serological tests based on ELISA technique are cheap, readily available and simple to use in the clinical setting. However local evaluation is essential in order to validate these techniques. Fifty-six dyspeptic patients (aged less than 45 yr) had a rapid serological test (Helisal) performed prior to gastroscopy. At gastroscopy H. pylori status was assessed using culture and histology. The Helisal sensitivity was 80 per cent, specificity 82 per cent. Screening patients with the Helisal test would have missed 6 patients with peptic ulcer disease and 2 with oesophagitis. The Helisal test did not perform satisfactorily as a screening test in selection of patients for gastroscopy.
