pubmed:abstractText |
Since the urea breath test (UBT) indirectly detects gastric Helicobacter pylori infection by measuring urease activity, the possibility of false-positive results due to other urease-producing bacteria cannot be excluded. Previous studies have shown that increased 14CO2 activity in early breath samples could be attributed to urea hydrolysis in the oropharynx. For that reason, reliable assessment of H. pylori status is hampered for at least 20 min after administration of a 14C-urea drink.
