I have tested h. pylori +ve after taking meds for two times(over 6 weeks). now am taking the third prescription. is this normal or something is wrong?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not abnormal BUT...: Depends on the kind of testing done. The serum based antigen testing may be positive long after the infection is cleared. Need a breath test or endoscopy to demonstrate cure. H. Pylori eradication regimens can be complicated and do have a small failure rate.
