This bacterium can be found in the stomach's mucous membrane and can lead to gastritis/gastric catarrh and ulcers in the duodenum, varying in severity. In rare cases, it can also increase the risk of cancer in the lower part of the stomach. The test is also known as the "gastric catarrh test."

Description of Stomach Ulcer Test (H. pylori)
It's important to note that the majority of those infected with H. pylori don't experience any symptoms at all. Only about 5% of the infected individuals develop stomach ulcers, which is the only situation requiring medical treatment to handle the infection.
The H. pylori infection is one of the most common infections worldwide, and the infection usually occurs during childhood and can then be carried throughout life. However, infection can also occur in adulthood, although it's less common. The risk of infection is higher in countries geographically located in the south and east, compared to the western parts of the world.
