Core Tip	Stool antigen tests (SATs) are relatively inexpensive noninvasive tests. Several guidelines on Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection from around the world indicate that SATs using monoclonal antibodies are useful for primary diagnosis as well as for assessing the results of eradication therapy. SATs are also useful for diagnosing H. pylori infection in children and post gastric surgery patients. The choice of test kit depends on the accuracy in each population and the circumstances of each patient.
