Detection of H Pilori Infection

Andosk be alone will not tell us whether or not a person has ach pilori. We need tissue. The most sensitive and specific test for h polori is a histology of gastric biopses obtained through upper and dosk b. Biopse should be taken from multiple locations, but particularly the body and the antrum as about eight % of patients can have localization to the antrum alone. In addition to histology andiscopically obtained samples may be sent for rapid uriase testing or bacterial culture.
