Objective: To estimate the prevalence of Helicobacter pylori antigen (H. pylori) in stool among adult patients with dyspepsia and to find out the correlation between H. pylori infection and hemoglobin concentrations as well as demographic data.
Methods: This cross-sectional laboratory-based study, which ran between December 2018 and June 2019 among patients attending the outpatient medical clinic in Elfashir city. H. pylori antigen was determined in stool by using ICT for H.pylori Ag.
Results: A total of 227 adult Sudanese patients were enrolled in the study. Of these, 104 (45.8%) tested positive for H. pylori Ag. There were no significant correlation between infection with H. pylori and low level of hemoglobin, gender, and age, (P?0.005).
Conclusions: High prevalence of H. pylori infection among adult patients with dyspepsia in Elfashir city has been documented. Correlation between infection with H.pylori and demographic as well as low hemoglobin level need more studies with large sample size.
