A member asked:

Blood test igg 17.95 positive and igm 8.50 negative. stool test was negative. do i infect with h.pylori?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Past infection: These results suggest past infection with H. pylori. The blood test can remain positive for years after past infection even if you were treated. The stool test and urea breath test can better detect current infection. The gold standard for testing is a biopsy during endoscopy. https://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/007501.htm
