title: Campylobacter pylori as possible factor in peptic ulcer recurrence.
abstract: The author reviews the literature up to 1988 about the close association of Campylobacter pylori with chronic active gastritis, duodenitis and peptic ulcer disease. No firm data however demonstrate that Campylobacter pylori causes duodenal ulcer but long term eradication of this bacterium prevents duodenal ulcer relapse.
