title: Rapid diagnosis of Campylobacter pylori by brush cytology.
abstract: Campylobacter pylori (CP) was demonstrated in 67.2% of 67 patients using cytology as compared to 65.7% by histology. Brush cytology is thus found to be superior to all other methods available to date for the detection of CP. It is rapid, simple, and has a high specificity.
