Sažetak
The aim of the study was to determine the place and role of serologic methods in detecting Helicobacter pylori (H.
pylori) infection, on the basis of estimated enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and complement fixation test
(CFT) sensitivity and specificity. A total of 549 patients were included in the study. ELISA and CFT as serologic methods
were compared with invasive methods (rapid urease test – CLO test, culture, histology). The sensitivity of serologic methods
was above 90%, and their specificity was around 80%. Study results confirmed the value, reliability and usefulness
of serologic methods in the detection of H. pylori infection.
