Helicobacter pylori
Helicobacter pylori is a bacterium whose ideal habitat is the gastric mucosa of humans. The infection is often asymptomatic, but can sometimes cause gastritis and gastric or duodenal ulcers. The most common symptoms of these diseases are Burning and pain in the upper abdomen, especially further away from meals and in the morning when the stomach is empty. Other symptoms are Nausea and bloating, reflux, loss of appetite, belching, weight loss and diarrhoea. Sometimes the ulcer can bleed and lead to anaemia over time. In the long term, infection with Helicobacter pylori is associated with an increased risk of stomach cancer. The search for specific Helicobacter pylori antigens in faeces is an effective and non-invasive method for the rapid detection of an infection with Helicobacter pylori.
Principle of the test
The HELICOBACTER PYLORI ANTIGEN TEST is an immunochromatographic test that detects even the smallest amounts of H. pylori antigens in stool samples thanks to the use of highly specific gold-conjugated monoclonal antibodies contained in the test strip.
