Simplified ¹³C‐urea breath test with a new infrared spectrometer for diagnosis of <i>Helicobacter pylori</i> infection

Abstract

The 13C-UBT performed with infrared spectrometry is a highly sensitive, specific, and non-invasive method for the detection of H. pylori infection. The immediate availability of the test result and technical simplicity make it particularly effective in routine clinical practice.
