Abstract
AN ESTIMATED 30% to 40% of the US population is infected with Helicobacter pylori.1 Infection with this spiral, urease-producing organism causes histological gastritis in all those infected, is the major cause of peptic ulcer disease, and is an important risk factor for the development of gastric adenocarcinoma and lymphoma.2,3Keywords
