Pathogenic mechanisms in Helicobacter pylori infection.
The likelihood of clinical disease is affected by the strain of Helicobacter pylori, and whether gastritis extends to the gastric corpus. Plentiful acid from a healthy corpus may cause duodenal ulcers while corpus gastritis and acid hyposecretion are associated with gastric cancer.
