Abstract
The current case - control study was conducted at Ain Shams University Maternity Hospital from March 2015 to December 2015.
128 participants were recruited and assessed for eligibility, 106 women were randomized into 2 groups. Just 90 completed and were included in the final analysis.
group A included 46 pregnant women who suffered from nausea and vomiting with pregnancy and admitted in the hospital ward as case of hyperemesis gravidarum and group B included 44 Pregnant women attended to the out-patient clinics for routine antenatal care of the same gestational age, same age range and same socioeconomic standard as cases
Two groups were subjected to detailed history, physical examination, investigation, abdominal ultrasound and Helicobacter Pylori stool antigen test (non invasive, easy, fast to perform and diagnostic) for detection of H. pylori antigen.
Stool samples were tested by using one step H.pylori stool antigen test (CER TEST BIOTEC) to detect H. pylori antigen in stool samples of hyperemesis gravidarum pregnant women and to explore the association between hyperemesis gravidarum in pregnant women and H.pylori infection.
The current study found significant difference between two groups regarding positivity of HPSA. Positive stool antigen were found in 39 out of 46 of hyperemesis gravidarum (84.8%) compared with 27 out of 44 controls (58.7%). the rate of H. pylori infection was higher in HG patients than that in non-HG patients and the difference was found to be significant (P <0.05).
