Sensitivity of a Novel Stool Antigen Test for Detection of Helicobacter pylori in Adult Outpatients before and after Eradication Therapy

摘要

We investigated whether a novel monoclonal stool antigen test for detection of Helicobacter pylori performs with the same accuracy as the 13C-urea breath test (UBT) for adult outpatients in the setting of a private office. The two tests showed identical levels of sensitivity when used to identify H. pylori-infected patients before and after eradication therapy.
