Case Study H. Pylori Bacteria

Clinical examination and urine test (excess muccopolysaccharides are excreted in the urine) are the first steps in the diagnosis of an MPS disease. Enzymes assays ( testing a variety of cells or blood in culture for enzymes deficiency ) are also used to provide definitive diagnosis of one of the MPS. Prenatal diagnosis using amniocentesis and choroionic villus sampling can verify if the fetus is affected with the disorder. Genetic counseling can help parents who have a family history of the MPS to determined if they are carrying the mutated gene that causes the disorder.

A stool sample can be tested to confirm the diagnosis. Enzyme immunoassay (EIA) is most often used to detect substances produced by bacteria. Another method is to use PCR to detect the toxin genes. This is more sensitive and specific test. Sometimes, follow-up tests are needed to confirm the diagnosis. Your doctor may do an X-ray or computerized tomography (CT) scan of your

The history of Helicobacter pylori goes back to 1875 when German scientists found the spiral shaped bacteria in the stomach linings of patients (“Helicobacter Pylori,” Wikipedia). However, Helicobacter pylori, also known as H. pylori, was officially discovered in 1982 by Barry Marshall and Robin Warren when they ended up leaving petri dishes incubating over Easter weekend (“Helicobacter pylori,” Wikipedia). After returning to the petri dishes after five days they discovered they had unintentionally successfully cultured the bacteria and were finally able to visualize it (“Helicobacter pylori,” Wikipedia). Until 1989, Helicobacter pylori was called Campylobacter pylori (“Helicobacter pylori,” Wikipedia). However further research done in 1989

The most common ways for HUS to be diagnosed is from a Urine or Stool test to test for blood or bacteria in those samples from the Digestive and Urinary systems. The other ways, that is more likely to be used, is a Blood test. The things the doctor would be checking for in this test would be a low red blood count, a low platelet count, a higher than normal creatinine level in your blood and also to see if you have any damage to your red blood

These procedures include tolerance tests. One test is the epinephrine tolerance test. Another test is the glucagon tolerance test. There were some issues with the glucagon tolerance test according to Fernandes (1969). This test had some issues in diagnosing liver disease because it showed that some patients had high rise in blood glucose levels. This was an issue because many normal and healthy children have high levels of blood glucose and since some of the patients they were testing were children, the results were inconclusive and could not necessarily determine if that patient had any liver glycogen diseases. So it was decided that this test only gave good results if it was used on older patients to whom they could dictate if their blood glucose levels were too high compared to a healthy adult, which would then determine if they had liver glycogen disease. Also this test could be performed after the patient performed a long fast, in order to lower their blood glucose levels. This fast is commonly eight

Hello Kelli, I enjoyed reading your post. You made some good points. I just want to add to what your mention about H. pylori being treated with two varieties of antibiotics the patient may also be given proton pump inhibitor, histamine receptor blocker, and protectants to help relieve pain. I think it is interesting o how the breath test is performed and thanks for sharing that information because it very helpful. It is also important that patient doesn’t eat or drink anything for a least 6 hours before the breath or stomach biopsy is performed. Other than those small adjustments that I wanted to add, I think you did a wonderful job.

On Unknown 1A, the first test required was a lactose fermentation test. I needed one tube of lactose and phenol red broth, fitted with a Durham tube. The phenol red is a Ph indicator, and would turn the broth from a red color to a yellow color if acid is produced, which would occur in lactose fermentation. The Durham tube allows us to see if any gas is produced in the fermentation process. If there is a bubble in the tube, this shows that gas was produced. Be careful when handling these tubes to ensure you do not jostle it, causing air to enter the Durham tube. I inoculated

There is not a Food and Drug Administration (FDA) licensed test available, but the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has released a document to guide PCR assays. Commercial serologic tests are possible, but no kit is yet licensed by the FDA, nor have cutoff point for diagnostic values of immunoglobulin (Ig) G antibody been established by the FDA. Each test has a different “window” of efficiency, and various sensitivities to factors like immunization, previous infection, and antimicrobial

There are many ways that they can diagnose PPHN, but I want to start off by informing you about the laboratory testing that they use. Starting with Arterial blood gas levels also known as ABG. ABG tests are used to measure the levels of carbon dioxide and oxygen in the blood from an artery. The blood is always taken from an artery. It must be used from an artery due to the fact that in veins the oxygen has already been used up and carbon dioxide is present (Lung Disease & Respiratory Health center, 2012). Next diagnosis could possibly be done by blood count with differential. This test is done to test if an extreme infection or illness is the cause of the PPHN. Some of the infections and illnesses listed in the causes section can be

You did a wonderful job on your PowerPoint presentation! I see that a serum H pylori test was done and came back positive for the patient. The test has a high specificity and sensitivity, and it is useful for detecting a newly infected patient. As providers, it will important to know that the serum H pylori test is not a good test for follow-up of treated patients because the results do not indicate a present infection with H pylori due to the fact that the antibody titer can remain elevated for a long time after H pylori is eradicated (Santacroce, 2014). A test that can be used to detect eradication after treatment is the H pylori fecal antigen test.

The impaired portion of Brock Run (TMDL ID: VAN-F15R BRK01A06), located in Spotsylvania County, was first identified as impaired for E. coli bacteria on VADEQ's 2008 303(d) Total Maximum Daily Load Priority List because of exceedances of the state's water quality criterion for E. coli bacteria. The 2.56 miles long impaired segment begins at the confluence with Aunt Sarah Spring Creek, which is approximately 0.95 miles downstream of Ashbys Pond, and flows to the confluence with Ni River. According to the 2014 Water Quality Integrated Assessment period (February 11, 2004 – December 31, 2012), 6 out of 19 samples (31.6%) surpassed the maximum water quality assessment criterion (235 cfu/100ml) for E. coli bacteria at Station 8BRK000.06,

My patient has just been diagnosed with Helicobacter Pylori is prescribed the standard recommended treatment including amoxicillin, clarithromycin and metronidazole given concurrently. Before taking amoxicillin tell your doctor if you allergic to any cephalosporin’s. Amoxicillin can also make birth control pills less effective. You also have to take the medicine for the complete length of time. This could cause diarrhea. Clarithromycin is used to treat duodenal ulcers that occur from H Pylori along with other medicines combined. Do not take if you have life threating heart rhythm disorders or if you have lover or kidney disease.

When I read this case study, I had initially thought maybe it’s cholera due to the watery diarrhea. After searching up cholera, I found out it was not cholera and some other type of bacterial infection. Then I looked up types of food infections and found nothing so I had to narrow down the search and searched for “bacterial-borne food illnesses.” This led me to most bacterias that caused illnesses from either contaminated food or food that were not properly prepared. On this list I found that Escherichia coli was the suspect, except that the general E.coli bacteria is usually a sorbitol-fermenter and the only exception is one of the strains called “E.coli 0157:H7.” I confirmed this by searching up the sorbitol fermentation and found the sorbitol-MacConkey

We cannot ignore that we have identified H. pylori in 18 patients (20.63%) suffering from gastric and periodontal disease. Namiot DB et al. (10) detected it only in three cases among 157 patients. H. pylori was detected in dental plaque with a rate of 34.1% (16) and in 82.3% by Gao J et al. (24). Boyanova et al. (6) isolated oral strain from a child with both gingivitis and chronic gastritis. In the study of Anand et al., the occurrence of H. pylori in the dental plaque of patients with gastric H. pylori infection was higher than in controls (25). Sudhakar U et al.(1), identified five patients (10%) positive for H. pylori by culture. H. pylori was identified by culture in 2/208, and by PCR in 15/208 (7%) (26). This result demonstrates the
