The usefulness of the polyclonal stool antigen test has been reported in the Japanese population undergoing eradication therapy [9][10][11]. In the present study, we showed the clinical usefulness of the stool antigen test using monoclonal antibody to evaluate eradication therapy in Japanese patients.…”
