Abstract
Significant evidence exists that Helicobacter pylori causes superficial antral gastritis, duodenitis as well as ulcer disease1, even though the bacterium rarely invades the tissue2. Inflammatory infiltrates are observed just below regions of H. pylori that are on the gastric luminal side and gastric mucosa remains intact3. The bacteria are rarely observed in non-inflamed tissue4. There is a strong correlation between the number of bacteria seen and the amount of inflammation1, and gastritis ceases after the bacteria are eradicated3.
