Real-Time Detection of<i>Helicobacter Pylori</i>Infection and Atrophic Gastritis: Comparison between Conventional Methods and a Novel Device for Gastric Juice Analysis During Endoscopy

The Mt 21-42 is an effective, useful, and desirable tool that may help to overcome this diagnostic limitation; it produces time and cost savings and also allows the detection of H. pylori infection.
