A member asked:

Help! i am waiting for another appointment with my gasto specialist doctor but why would the blood test be positive if the endoscopy is negative?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See Below: What blood test? If the blood test for h pylori was positive but endoscopy was negative, the two are not inconsistent. A person can have h pylori infection and not have any disease.

Dr Calderon and another doctor agreed
