Original Article Experience of 13C-Urea Breath Test in Eight Children Abstract Urea breath test (13C-UBT) is a non-invasive diagnostic test for Helicobacter pylori infection. A preliminary retrospective study was conducted in the use of 13C-UBT in paediatric patients in Hong Kong. The study was conducted in Kwong Wah Hospital, a regional public hospital in urban Hong Kong. Eight asymptomatic paediatric patients who underwent 13C-UBT were analyzed retrospectively. Positive 13C-UBT was found in two (25%) of these eight paediatric patients. There was positive paternal history of dyspepsia in both patients.
