Abstract

The evaluation of a new rapid stool antigen test showed different levels of sensitivity for final readings of test results at 20 min (59.1%) and 30 min (76.9%). Significant differences in performance were observed between the two sexes and the various age categories, with higher efficiency in male patients and young adults. Generally, this test is efficient and can be used to detect H. pylori infection in adults. However, further studies are required to confirm its accuracy.
