Answer #1

H.pylori Infection:

- The person is infected by H.pylori(Helicobacter pylori) bacteria, which usually leads to Peptic ulcer disease, inflammation(gastritis), and certain types of stomach cancer. Symptoms include severe pain in the stomach, vomiting, appetite loss, etc.

Carbon Urea Breath test: Urea breath test is conducted for the diagnosing of the presence of H.pylori in the stomach. Isotopic carbon is ingested by the patient. This carbon is converted into carbon dioxide and is absorbed across the lining of the stomach, which is then excreted in the breath. The samples of isotopic carbon are measured from the exhaled air.

Treatment: Antibiotics and proton pump inhibitors synergistically act to eradicate H.pylori infection, therefore the administration of both increases the effectiveness of the remedy by eradicating the bacteria and helps in pain relief.

Thumbs up would be really helpful. Happy Chegging!
