  • Title: [Helicobacter pylori--introduction and review of research].
    Author: Katicić M, Presecki V, Kalenić S, Dominis M.
    Journal: Lijec Vjesn; 2002 Sep; 124 Suppl 1():1-5. PubMed ID: 12592806.
    Abstract:
    The discovery of Helicobacter pylori has revolutionized the pathophysiological and clinical approach to gastric and duodenal ulcer. Since the first paper identifying H. pylori was published only 17 years ago, it has been found out that this bacterium causes probably the commonest human infection. Numerous papers published so far have confirmed causal relationship between H. pylori infection and gastritis, duodenal ulcer, gastric ulcer and gastric cancer. If any recent achievement in the world of medicine is to be called revolutionary, then it is the discovery of the role of a spiral bacterium in the etiopathogenesis of gastritis, gastric ulcer, duodenal ulcer and gastric cancer. The discovery of the role of Helicobacter pylori has entirely changed our views and approach to the treatment of patients with stomach disorders. Not only do these discoveries change our actions, but above all our way of thinking. Almost routine diagnostics and treatment of gastritis, gastric ulcer or cancer has been replaced by studies in epidemiology, isolation and eradication of a single bacterium.
