There are several laboratory diagnostic method for detection of H pylori but they are differ according to their sensitivity, specificity, etc. We need to full understand which one is more accurate and reliable
I am working on using Carbon Nanotube sensors for breath analysis measurements. It would be very simple to measure CO2 from a person's exhaled breath. If you would like more information, please get in touch with me.
Another variant is the immunological detection of the antigen of Helycobacter pylori in faeces, which also has acceptable sensitivity and specificity, and has the advantage of being a non-invasive test, which does not require the presence of the patient in medical settings, and which is relatively inexpensive, comparing the medical attention required by the urease test, and the more complicated methods of PCR. It can also serve as a screening test prior to the urease test and / or PCR.
Dear Izquierdo
Yes. detection of H pylori Antigen in stool and anti-h pylori ab in blood is recommended as preliminary screening tests but, my question in more depth and for search purposes other than diagnostic approaches. Thanks for your answer and scientific contribution...Kind regard
