Abstract

The assessment of Helicobacter pylori antigen in stool specimens is widely accepted. Recently a immunochromatographic near-patient test assay has been developed. In this first evaluation in 100 patients before and after H. pylori eradication therapy we observed a sensitivity (76%) and specificity (98%) of this near-patient test.
