Abstract
H. pylori-associated gastritis: diagnostic, treatment and surveillance Abstract. Helicobacter pylori infections are limited to the stomach and represent globally the infectious disease with the highest prevalence. H. pylori infection causes in almost 100 % a chronic gastritis and is the main cause of relevant diseases such as atrophic gastritis, peptic ulcer disease and gastric cancer (class I carcinogen according to WHO). Accordingly, a H. pylori associated gastritis signifies a high-impact health economic disease, leading to significant morbidity and mortality. This review summarizes key points regarding diagnosis, treatment and follow-up.
