Breath Ammonium Test in Diagnostic of Helicobacter Pylori Infection

Breath ammonium test is an alternative method for diagnostic of H. pylori infection. For several years we work with this test. Our studies are showing high levels of sensitivity and specificity for this test. Also we see decreasing prevalence of H. pylori infection since 2009 to 2014. Breath ammonium test shows a high efficacy in comparison to histological method and polymerase chain reaction and can be recommended to use in diagnostic of H. pylori infection.
