Study of fecal antigens against Helicobacter pylori as non-invasive test compared with the 13C-urea breath-test. Personal experience

The target of this study is the evaluation of two different noninvasive tests: 13C-urea Breath-Test, as gold standard, versus the HpSA test, as new method to research the faecal antigen of Helicobacter Pylori (HP). Thirty patients, affected by dyspeptic symptomatology and never treated before by ant...

Zusammenfassung:The target of this study is the evaluation of two different noninvasive tests: 13C-urea Breath-Test, as gold standard, versus the HpSA test, as new method to research the faecal antigen of Helicobacter Pylori (HP). Thirty patients, affected by dyspeptic symptomatology and never treated before by antibiotic therapy to eradicate the HP, was subjected, by Authors, to this evaluation. This study say that the 13C-urea Breath-test represent the gold standard in the pre-endoscopic research of HP presence concerning specificity and sensibility. However, the HpSA test need more improvement.
