A novel one-step Helicobacter pylori saliva antigen test

Abstract: The one-step HPS test exhibited a high sensitivity and low specificity compared with the other tests, indicating that it is not sufficiently accurate for use in a clinical setting for diagnosing H. pylori infection. However, the test is simple to use (requiring only a saliva sample), inexpensive, and noninvasive in its application, and thus appealing for use in population-based prevalence surveys of the epidemiology of H. pylori infection.

“…Classically, non-invasive tests for H. pylori detection include stool antigen assays, serology and the frequently used urea breath test (UBT)[68,69]. Antigen tests have been widely used for H. pylori detection in clinical specimens like gastric juice, saliva, urine and stool[70-72]. However, antigen detection methods, may suffer from poor specificity and sensitivity[70,71,73].…”

However, antigen detection methods, may suffer from poor specificity and sensitivity[70,71,73]. Different stool antigen tests have been developed to detect H. pylori in stool specimens with a sensitivity and specificity of 85% to 95%[17].…”

“…Helicobacter pylori ( H. pylori ) infection is probably one of the most common chronic bacterial infections worldwide [ 1 ]. The stomach is the primary site of H. pylori infection, including chronic active gastritis, peptic ulcer, gastric adenocarcinoma and type B low-grade mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma [ 2 ].…”

“…Also, information on antibiotic resistance cannot be provided using this method [ 68 , 69 ]. As already mentioned, non-invasive methods such as urea breath test (UBT), stool antigen assay, and serology are frequently used [ 70 72 ]. These are widely performed on gastric juice, saliva, urine, and stool specimens.…”
