Helicobacter pylori blood test accuracy

Helicobacter pylori refers to Helicobacter pylori. It is generally believed that blood test for Helicobacter pylori is accurate.

Helicobacter pylori is a common gastrointestinal bacteria that may cause gastritis, peptic ulcer and other diseases. Blood test is a method to detect Helicobacter pylori infection. Its principle is to determine whether there is Helicobacter pylori infection by detecting specific antibodies to Helicobacter pylori in the blood. The test result is generally accurate, but its positive result cannot determine whether it is a previous infection or a current infection. Other tests are needed. The examiner can cooperate with a carbon 13 or carbon 14 breath test to further confirm the diagnosis.

Patients diagnosed with Helicobacter pylori should receive treatment as soon as possible to prevent the induction of gastric cancer. In addition, regular follow-up should be conducted to understand the treatment effect of the disease.
