Abstract:
The validity of brush cytology of the gastric mucosa with Diff-Quik rapid staining was studied in 69 samples, and its effectiveness was compared with two other techniques (culture and urease test). Brush cytology is the method of choice for detecting Helicobacter pylori since it is rapid, easy to perform and has good sensitivity and specificity.
