title: [Campylobacter pylori and pathology of the gastro-duodenal mucosa. Critical review of clinico-experimental and therapeutic contributions].
abstract: Over the past five years, a series of important contributions have appeared in the medical literature on the role of infective agents in the pathogenesis of gastric and duodenal inflammation. The analysis of the available data confirms the possible role of campylobacter pylori in causing acute inflammation of the type B antral gastritis, although its role in the pathogenesis of gastric and duodenal ulcer and of the socalled non ulcer dyspepsia is still doubtful. Not even the results of therapeutic contributions obtained with colloidal bismuth subcitrate and antibiotics allow a definitive orientation. It has not yet been possible to establish a sure correlation between the sterilization of the gastric or duodenal mucosa and the evolution of ulcer disease.
