Possible Clinical Uses of Serology of Helicobacter pylori

  • Conference paper

Abstract

The highly specific and sensitive serological tests for H. pylori which have recently been developed clearly have many uses in epidemiology and other research [12], but their role in clinical practice is unclear. There have been suggestions that serology could be used in the diagnosis of dyspepsia and also in the monitoring of anti-Helicobacter therapy. This paper will discuss the problems underlying such approaches.
