A member asked:
Is it possible for h.pylori to not show up under an endoscope but only in sample? or does it always show up clearly under the endoscope?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Confusing post: H. pylori is a germ that can be seen under a microscope. It also leaves behind markers that can be found on tests. No one would ever see it in an endoscope. An endoscope might be able to make an ulcer visible, but would not define what is involved in its formation.
