Detailed description
The H. pylori Ag Rapid Test is a lateral flow chromatographic immunoassay for the qualitative detection of H. pylori antigen in human fecal specimen. It is intended to be used by professionals as a screening test and as an aid in the diagnosis of infection with H. pylori. Any reactive specimen with the H. pylori Ag Rapid Test must be confirmed with alternative testing method(s) and clinical findings.
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.
