Helicobacter pylori antibody~This unusual name identifies a specific bacteria that can cause infection of the stomach. This infection can contribute to the development of diseases, such as dyspepsia (heartburn, bloating and nausea), gastritis (inflammation of the stomach), and ulcers in the stomach and duodenum.
The symptoms are often relieved temporarily by antacids, milk, or medications that reduce stomach acidity. Often the doctor does not find an ulcer when the patient is tested by x-ray or endoscopy. The doctor will usually prescribe antibiotic therapy to see if clearing the infection relieves symptoms.
