Helicobacter Pylori
Helicobacter pylori are
spiral shaped bacteria, which are found in the human stomach.
It plays a significant pathogenic
role in chronic gastritis, gastric and duodenal ulcers, and
perhaps gastric cancers and cardiovascular diseases in humans
H. pylori infect a large
population, as high as 80% in developing countries and up to
40% in developed countries. Most patients have epigastric pain,
heart-burn, or vague symptoms ( non-ulcer dyspepsia).
With the diagnosis of H.
pylori infection, patients are usually treated with double or
triple antibiotics and proton pump inhibitor to eradicate the
H. pylori. However, limited to the current diagnostic methods,
such as CLOtest, pathology, stool antigen, serum HP antibody
or breath test, a number of patients continue to have the symptoms
even if the patients have a negative diagnosis for H. Pylori
infection.
