H.pylori Antigen Test Kit
H.pylori antigen detection in stool is a rapid, non invasive, easy to perform test that can be used to detect active infection, monitor effectiveness during therapy and to confirm cure after antibiotic use. The ease to collect the specimen, especially in children, in whom endoscopy would be difficult and the non requirement of specially trained staff to collect and perform the test adds to the tests advantage. Also, prior preparation of the patient is not necessary unlike in upper gastrointestinal endoscopy.
