H.Pylori
Helicobacter pylori is associated with a variety of gastrointestinal diseases including non-ulcer dyspepsia, duodenal and gastric ulcers and active, chronic gastritis. The prevalence of H. pylori infection could exceed 90% in patients with signs and symptoms of gastrointestinal diseases. Recent studies indicate an association of H. pylori infection with stomach cancer.
H. pylori can be transmitted through the ingestion of food or water that is tainted with fecal matter. Antibiotics in combination with bismuth compounds have been shown to be effective in treating active H. Pylori infection.H. pylori infection is currently detected by invasive testing methods based on endoscopy and biopsy (i.e. histology, culture) or non-invasive testing methods such as urea breath test (UBT), serologic antibody test and stool antigen test.
H.pylori Antigen Rapid Test Kits
UBT requires expensive lab equipment and consumption of a radioactive reagent. Serologic antibody tests do not distinguish between currently active infections and past exposures or infections that have been cured. The stool antigen test detects antigen present in the feces, which indicates an active H. pylori infection. It can also be used to monitor the effectiveness of treatment and the recurrence of an infection.The H. pylori Ag Rapid Test uses a colloidal gold conjugated monoclonal anti-H. pylori antibody and another monoclonal anti-H. pylori antibody to specifically detect H. pylori antigen present in the fecal specimen of an infected patient. The test is user friendly, accurate, and the result is available within 15 minutes.

Is H Pylori contagious?
H Pylori is believed to be contagious, although the precise mechanism of transmission remains unclear to doctors. It is suspected that inadequate hygiene practices may play a role in spreading H Pylori from one individual to another. Approximately half of the global population is estimated to be affected by H Pylori, with one in ten people aged 18 to 30 being infected by this condition.
