Author(s): Saroj Kumar Thakur and Dr. Tarsem Lal Garg
Abstract: Helicobacter pylori infection is a common cause of various gastrointestinal symptoms, including dyspepsia, abdominal pain, and nausea. Accurate and timely diagnosis is crucial for effective management of symptomatic individuals. This research paper aims to assess and compare the diagnostic performance of stool antigen immunoassay and blood antibody tests for the screening of H. pylori infection in symptomatic patients seeking care at a tertiary care hospital. A diverse population of symptomatic individuals will be enrolled in the study, and both test methods will be administered, with their results compared against a reference standard, such as endoscopy and histopathology. The research findings will provide valuable insights into the optimal diagnostic approach for identifying H. pylori infection in symptomatic patients, aiding in early intervention and improved patient outcomes.
