Colonization with Helicobacter pylori is associated with increased risk of patients developing gastritis, peptic ulcer disease,
and gastric adenocarcinoma. This assay is more useful in patients with gastrointestinal symptoms because of the large percentage of H. pyloricolonized individuals, especially in older age. Urea Breath Test or Helicobacter pylori Antigen, Feces, may be used to identify cases of active or ongoing H. pylori infection.
