Testing for H. pylori using stool samples in children
Part of Infections clinical trials.
This study checks if a stool test can find H. pylori bacteria in children, instead of using a stomach biopsy during an endoscopy. It may help diagnose stomach issues with less discomfort.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 16 years old or younger.
