The aim is the assessment of the HP infection in stomach using breath test and comparison to other diagnostic methods, as well as following up the effect of therapy. In 83 patients with digestive discomfort rapid urease test, histology and breath test were performed, while in 25 patients with proven HP infection the effect of therapy was followed up using breath test and clinical findings. For rapid urease test and histology, samples were taken from antral mucosa. Breath test was performed after per oral administration of the capsule of 14C- urea (37 kBq) (Izotop, Hungary and Laboratory for radioactive isotopes, Vinca) which, in the presence of Helicobacter pylori breaks up to 14CO2 and NH3. Radioactivity was measured by beta counter in the exhaled air fasting and 30 minutes after ingestion of the capsule. According to our results, the rise of activity over 100% was considered positive. From 83 patients, 58 were breath test was positive, 24 negative and one equivocal. Fast urease test was in 54 positive, in 29 negative while histology was in 57 postitive and 26 negative. Findings of the breath and urease tests were in accordance in 93% patients while breath test and histology in 98% patients. During follow up of the therapeutic effects, breath test and clinical findings were in accordance in 98% patients. Breath test can be useful in diagnosis but is a method of choice in following up the patients after therapy for H. pylori infection, because it is non-invasive, fast and precise.
