Abstract

Considering the important role of Helicobacter Pylori (Hp) in the most common gastro-intestinal pathologies, the Authors want to test the effectiveness of a non-invasive diagnostic technique for detection of the Hp in the gastric mucosa. At the end of experience they think, like the most of Literature, that the Breath Test, concerning sensibility and specificity, represent the gold standard for detection of the Hp.
