It is curable in up to approx 80% patients. Test to confirm without endoscopy is stool antigen test.
Next Steps
Usually in clinical practice it’s not done. But ideally one need to confirm after stopping PPI and antibiotics for 2 week.
Health Tips
Since in India prevalence of H pylori is 80% so blood tests aren’t useful.
