Histopathology method is often used as a gold standard diagnostic for Helicobacter pylori infection in Indonesia. However, it requires an endoscopic procedure which is limited in Indonesia. A non-invasive method, such as 14 C Urea Breath Test (UBT), is more favorable; however, this particular method has not been validated yet.
