| Abstract | An indirect immunofluorescence test (IIF) has been developed for detecting Campylobacter pylori in gastroduodenal biopsies. This test was compared with standard methods of C. pylori diagnosis, namely Gram staining and urease test, in a study population of 226 patients; 121 of the biopsy specimens were cultured for C. pylori as well. C. pylori colonization was detected in 154 of 226 patients (68%) by at least one of these methods (IIF, 96%; Gram staining, 78%; urease test, 60%; cultivation, 55%). Serum samples from 191 patients of the study population were screened for circulating antibodies to C. pylori by an indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay with whole, untreated bacteria as antigen. Of these serum specimens, 140 (73%) revealed absorbance readings above the limit of positivity, which was determined as an optical density of greater than 0.35 at 405/620 nm. Of 132 serum specimens, 128 (97%) from patients with C. pylori detected in biopsies, but only 12 (20%) of 59 specimens from those without C. pylori detection showed elevated specific antibody levels. Our data revealed that IIF proved to be the superior rapid, sensitive, and specific diagnostic method. The correlation between microbiological findings and the immune response favors our enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay as an additional tool in C. pylori diagnosis. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
