<p>A system and a method for monitoring concentrations of ammonium, and urease, during short or prolonged periods is presented, as an indicator of the presence and activity of a Helicobacter Pylori ("HP") infection, and of other bacterial infections that are similar. Ambulatory monitoring is possible. This system and method may be used in the evaluation of treatments for HP and other bacterial infection in the patient. A method is also presented to increase the diagnostic accuracy of the system and method by ingesting urea immediately before or during the monitoring. <IMAGE></p> |
