Objective To investigate the detection of Helicobacter pylori infection in children by C13-urea breath test, and to summarize its application value. Methods 100 children with Helicobacter pylori infection in our hospital from January 2023 to January 2024 were selected as research objects. C13-urea breath test was performed on them to obtain the test results, and serum Helicobacter pylori antibody was detected to evaluate the detection accuracy of C13-urea breath test. Results According to the study data, 25 cases of Helicobacter pylori infection were detected by C13-urea breath test and 44 cases were detected by serum Helicobacter pylori antibody test. There was no statistical difference between the two test results (P>0.05). The sensitivity of C13-urea breath test was 24/25 (96.00%), specificity 55/75 (73.33%) and accuracy 79/100 (79.00%). Conclusion The study shows that C13-urea breath test has a high detection rate of Helicobacter pylori infection in children, which can improve the detection accuracy. At the same time, it has a high sensitivity, specificity and accuracy, which can provide further accurate treatment for children infected with Helicobacter pylori, and provide favorable guarantee for disease treatment and therapeutic effect. It is worthy of testing and can be widely used.
