Multiple diagnostic tests are available for determining the presence of Helicobacter pylori infection. Some tests rely on endoscopy while others are non-invasive. The accuracy of a test depends on the clinical situation in which it is used. Most tests have been evaluated in untreated individuals, while few studies have investigated their performance post-treatment when bacterial counts might be low. In this overview we first discuss the different diagnostic techniques available to the clinician, and their value in the pre-treatment and post-treatment settings. Finally, we discuss the patient management-related question that arise in several clinical settings and recommend when to use which tests and why.
