OBJECTIVES: To compare the diagnostic accuracy of the most widely available tests for diagnosis of Helicobacter pylori infection after antibiotic treatment.
METHODS: A total of 59 H. pylori-positive, duodenal ulcer patients (mean age, 40.7 +/- 11.7 yr; 40 male and 19 female) were treated for 2 wk with either amoxicillin-metronidazole (n = 36) or omeprazole-amoxicillin-tinidazole (n = 23), and after 4 wk, were tested for H. pylori infection by [14C]urea breath test (UBT), serum IgG antibody level, and multiple antral biopsies for rapid urease testing, histology, Warthin-Starry stain, and polymerase chain reaction to detect H. pylori DNA. Infection status was established by a concordance of test results.
RESULTS: H. pylori was eradicated in 47 patients (80%). UBT and rapid urease testing had the best sensitivity and specificity, although not statistically different to Warthin-Starry stain and polymerase chain reaction. Serology and histology had little diagnostic value in this setting due to high proportion of false-positive results.
CONCLUSIONS: Noninvasive UBT is as accurate in predicting H. pylori status after antibiotic treatment as rapid urease testing and Warthin-Starry stain. Especially for duodenal ulcer patients, UBT could be considered the gold standard to confirm eradication of H. pylori.
