Abstract
Marshall and Warren were the first to succeed in culturing Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) from the gastric mucosa of patients with gastritis in 1983. H. pylori is a spiral-shaped bacterium that resides in the gastric mucosa and is one of the most common infections worldwide. H. pylori infection causes gastritis and peptic ulcers and is associated with the development of gastric cancer and MALT lymphoma. Now, a variety of accurate diagnostic tests are widely available. Both invasive tests (bacterial culture, histopathology, and RUT) and non-invasive tests (UBT and serological test) are conducted for the diagnosis of H. pylori infection. This review provides a general overview of the diagnostic methods and tests the characteristics (sensitivity and specificity) for H. pylori infection.
