title: [Helicobacter pylori and gastrointestinal tract diseases].
abstract: We review the bacteriological, epidemiological and pathogenetic aspects of Helicobacter pylori and related diseases of the gastrointestinal tract. It is concluded that H. pylori seems to be at least one of several etiological factors for diseases such as chronic gastritis and duodenal ulcer. It may also be an important cofactor in the development of gastric carcinoma.
