Who, how and when to test for H. pylori infection

Join Meridian Bioscience for an exclusive, expert-led webinar on the updated 2024 American College of Gastroenterology (ACG) clinical practice guidelines for H. pylori. In this session, renowned gastroenterologists Dr. Steven F. Moss (Brown University) and Dr. Colin W. Howden (University of Tennessee) will guide participants through the latest recommendations on who, how, and when to test for H. pylori infections. The session will explore the prevalence of the infection, key disease associations, and the most up-to-date non-invasive testing methods. Attendees will also gain insights into the newest treatment protocols, emphasizing the importance of a Test-Treat-Retest approach for optimal patient outcomes.

Event Details

Date: November 12th
Time: 1:00 pm EST

Learning Objectives

  • Understand the current epidemiology of H. pylori infections, including prevalence and risk factors.

Streptocoque B : Enjeux et Intérêts du Diagnostic Moléculaire Intrapartum

Malgré la stratégie de dépistage universel entre la 35 et 37ème semaine de grossesse, le streptocoque du groupe B (SGB) reste la cause majeure de méningite et de sepsis néonatal précoce. Un groupe d’experts Européens à recommandé un déplacement du dépistage à l’accouchement avec un test PCR rapide.

2 expertes des CNR France et Belgique discuteront des différents défis du diagnostic du SGB, de l’intérêt du dépistage intrapartum et des résultats d’une étude multicentrique portant sur le dépistage intrapartum à l’aide du test rapide moléculaire Revogene® GBS DS (Meridian Bioscience).
