Helicobacter pylori occurs naturally in the stomach of most people and also has beneficial properties. Until recently, people often contracted an infection at a young age. Not only does going through a Helicobacter infection protect against reinfection, it also means that asthma occurs less often. The bacterium Helicobacter pylori is found in more than 11% of people with stomach complaints.

This Helicobacter self-test is a rapid test for home use to detect the presence of antibodies against Helicobacter pylori in whole blood. Therefore, this test is intended to aid in the detection of Helicobacter pylori infections through the presence of specific anti-IgG antibodies in a whole blood sample.
