Abstract
ABSTRACT
The [
13
C]urea breath test (
13
C-UBT) and
Helicobacter pylori
stool antigen test (HpSA) for the diagnosis of
H. pylori
infection in children were validated. The sensitivity, specificity, and positive and negative predictive values were 93.8, 99.1, 97.8, and 98.0%, respectively, for the
13
C-UBT and 96.9, 100, 100, and 98.0%, respectively, for HpSA. Both tests are appropriate for diagnosing
H. pylori
infection in children.
