Abstract

Introduction: It is estimated that half of the world's population has been infected with H. pylori at some point; infection usually occurs in childhood and can persist for life in the stomach if untreated. Objective: To compare the different diagnostic methods for H. pylori, and to describe new diagnostic alternatives currently available. Methodology: A detailed search of scientific databases was conducted, choosing relevant studies according to specific criteria. The characteristics of each diagnostic method, advantages and disadvantages, limitations present, using tables and narrative compilations were considered. Results: Accurate and efficient diagnostic methods that allow early identification of the presence of H. pylori were identified. In addition, molecular diagnostic methods such as polymerase chain reaction (PCR) were described. Conclusion: This review emphasizes the relevance of timely diagnosis for H. pylori by highlighting the existing new diagnostic methods and the requirement for further research; since, despite advances in diagnosis, there are still challenges and limitations to be overcome. General area of study: Microbiology. Specific area of study: Bacteriology. Type of study: Original article.
