I agree with scha2005, I have the question answered in one of my review papers, but no explanation, sorry!
good luck

this is indeed a twisted question....

i was curious..so just gave it some serious thought and did some browsing and suddenly it clicked! it took me a long time but i think this is the explanation!

Y filaments simply mean antibodies (remember the structure of an antibody...its Y shaped. right? 🙂 ). If antibodies are present in the blood sample, it means either you have H. pylori or have had it in the recent past! because antibodies stick to H.pylori!

so the answer is helicobacter species!!

people who make these questions do know how to make us look foolish 😳

hope this helped everyone!!
