Self-test for detecting the presence of the Helicobacter pylori antigen in the faecesHELICOBACTER PYLORI
Helicobacter pylori (Hp) is a bacterium that chronically infects more than half of the world’s population and plays a causative role in the pathogenesis of chronic gastritis, peptic ulcer diseases, gastric cancer and mucosa associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma. The considerable burden of these H. pylori-related outcomes means that there is an acute demand for accurate diagnosis of this infection. Several detection methods have already been developed, such as culture, histological staining, the urea breath test (UBT) but a simple, non-invasive, inexpensive and accurate diagnostic test remains the goal. One of the simplest ways to detect infection is by checking the presence of specific antigens for the bacterium that are excreted through the faeces. HELICOBACTER PYLORI ANTIGEN TEST can detect the presence of these antigens in few minutes.
