From the limited data available, it seems that the H. pylori stool assay represents a highly accurate diagnostic tool to detect H. pylori infection before and shortly after therapy. As a test that is noninvasive, accurate, simple, and cost-effective, the H. pylori stool assay has the potential to become the preferred diagnostic tool in many different clinical settings from epidemiologic studies to pediatric investigations, from pre-endoscopic screening policies to posttherapy monitoring.
