Introducción

El propósito de este estudio fue determinar si la presencia de anticuerpos frente a las proteínas de virulencia CagA y VacA de Helicobacter pylori se asociaba con una mayor sensibilidad a los antibióticos, y su relevancia clínica en los pacientes con dispepsia.

Métodos

Se estudiaron 98 pacientes adultos con infección por H. pylori que acudieron a realizarse una endoscopia gástrica por sus síntomas dispépticos. La determinación de anticuerpos anti-CagA y anti-VacA se realizó mediante Western-blot (Helicoblot 2.0). Se estudió la concentración mínima inhibitoria a amoxicilina, metronidazol, claritromicina y tetraciclina mediante E-test.

Resultados

Fueron diagnosticados de dispepsia ulcerosa 39 pacientes y 59 de dispepsia no ulcerosa. Presentaron anticuerpos anti-CagA 63 pacientes y 52 anti-VacA que en ambos casos se asociaron significativamente con la presencia de dispepsia ulcerosa (p = 0,034 y p = 0,029, respectivamente). Se detectaron un 38,8% de cepas resistentes a metronidazol y un 10,3% a claritromicina. No se observaron resistencias a amoxicilina ni a tetraciclina. La sensibilidad a claritromicina fue más frecuente en pacientes con dispepsia ulcerosa frente a los sujetos con dispepsia no ulcerosa (p = 0,046). Los pacientes con anticuerpos anti-CagA presentaron las cepas más sensibles a los antibióticos, siendo para la claritromicina la diferencia estadísticamente significativa (p < 0,001).

Conclusió

La detección de anticuerpos anti-CagA se asoció con una mayor sensibilidad a los antibióticos en pacientes con dispepsia ulcerosa y no ulcerosa, por lo que su detección podría ser un marcador de buen pronóstico de éxito terapéutico.

Introduction

The aim of this study was to determine the relationship among antibodies against virulence factors (CagA and VacA), clinical status and primary resistance in dyspeptic patients with Helicobacter pylori infection.

Methods

Ninety-eight adult patients with Helicobacter pylori infection who underwent gastric endoscopy for dyspepsia were studied. Specific serum IgG antibodies against CagA and VacA proteins were detected by Western-blot (Helicoblot 2.0). Minimum inhibitory concentrations of metronidazole, amoxicillin, tetracycline and clarithromycin were determined with the E-test.

Results

Thirty-nine patients presented peptic ulcer disease and 59 had non-ulcer dyspepsia. CagA protein was detected in 63 patients, and VacA protein in 52 subjects, and both were significantly associated with peptic ulcers (p = 0.034 and p = 0.029, respectively). Susceptibility results showed 38.8% of strains resistant to metronidazole and 10.3% resistant to clarithromycin. No resistance to amoxicillin or tetracycline was found. Susceptibility to clarithromycin was more frequent in ulcer patients than in non-ulcer dyspepsia patients (p = 0.046). CagA protein was more frequent in patients with clarithromycin-sensitive strains (p < 0.001).

Conclusion

Antibodies against CagA protein were associated with higher antibiotic susceptibility in patients with ulcers or non-ulcer dyspepsia. Thus, anti-CagA antibody detection could be a useful marker of favorable prognosis with antibiotic treatment.
