Abstract: | Urease test, histology, culture, urea breath test(UBT) and stool antigen test are accurate tests for Helicobacter pylori diagnosis. General practitioners are now going to test peptic ulcer disease patients with these tests before and after in Japan. To test with high accuracy after eradication therapy, it is important that examination should be done over 4 weeks after cessation of treatment with PPI and antibiotics. UBT and stool antigen test are suitable tests for diagnosis of Helicobacter pylori infection after treatment. |
