Abstract
Helicobacter pylori (H pylori) assessment in patients who stop taking proton pump inhibitor (PPI) in less than 2 weeks has never been established. Experts have suggested using pathology rather than rapid urease test (RUT). Unfortunately, pathology is not widely available in limited resource areas. We aimed to evaluate the detection rate of RUT at antrum and body compared with pathology in those patients.
