title: Diagnosis of Helicobacter pylori Infection.
abstract: A large number of studies on diagnostic tests have been published this year. New tests were proposed for the detection of Helicobacter pylori antigens in stools and new molecular methods (real-time polymerase chain reaction) to look for antimicrobial susceptibility. The other standard tests have been applied in different situations to improve the diagnosis of the infection.
