pubmed:abstractText |
The 'test and treat' strategy for Helicobacter pylori is recommended in dyspeptic patients under 55 years of age with no alarm symptoms. Reliable non-invasive tests are therefore needed. The aim of this study was to assess the pre- and post-treatment accuracy of a low dose (1 microCi [37kBq]), short collecting time [14C]-UBT (urea breath test) in diagnosing H pylori infection, examining different methods to analyse the best cut-off points.
