[Histonet] H.Pylori

[Harrison, Sandra C.]

We do an H.P. routinely on stomach, body, fundus, antrum, pyloric,
prepyloric, and gastric (Not on cardia area of stomach or GE jcn.)

We use a kit from Newcomer Supply of a Steiner-Chapman modified Silver
Stain.

The pathologist's order an IHC for H.P. only about 5% of the time, if
for example, they do not see H.P. from the silver stain, but the patient
has a history of H.P.
