HELICOBACTER PYLORI – IGM

The Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) IgM test detects IgM antibodies against H. pylori, a bacterium that infects the stomach lining and can cause peptic ulcers and gastritis. A positive H. pylori IgM test indicates a recent or acute infection. This test is used to diagnose and monitor H. pylori infections, guide treatment decisions, and evaluate the effectiveness of therapy. It provides important information for managing gastrointestinal health, preventing complications associated with H. pylori infection, and ensuring appropriate medical intervention.
