Rapid urease test: A newer perspective of diagnosing Helicobactor pylori infection in dogs

Satish Kumar K, Amruth Kumar VVV and Nagaraj P

Dogs presented with history and signs of chronic, recurrent vomiting with or without anorexia were subjected for detailed examination followed by blood, serum and fecal sample evaluation to rule out the systemic infection. Later x-ray, abdomen ultrasound and endoscopy was performed and biopsy specimens were collected from selective cases. Erythemia, petechiation, erosions, ulcers and mucosal thickening or hypertrophy along the mucus lining of cardiac, fundus and pylorus were the significant endoscopic abnormalities. Biopsy samples changed the colour of test solution from yellow to pink within 3-5 min thus suggesting positive for rapid urease test and hence, confirming the typical Helicobacter infection.
