Abstract

Testing for H. pylori, either directly on biopsy specimens or by means of stool antigen or urea breath testing, is recommended in persons at increased risk for this infection. Treatment choice depends on whether there is penicillin allergy, previous exposure to macrolides, and macrolide resistance. Testing for cure is recommended after treatment.
