title: [Role of Helicobacter pylori in digestive disease in AIDS].
abstract: The frequent combination of chronic antral gastritis with the presence of Helicobacter pylori has been known for ten years. On the basis of studies carried out so far, Helicobacter gastritis is very infrequent in patients suffering from AIDS with digestive pathology. Our study of 317 patients with AIDS confirms the low incidence of this disorder which leads to the conclusion that the treatments intended to combat HIV are apt to modify the physico-chemical conditions of the stomach thus impeding Helicobacter colonization.
