Helicobacter pylori.
H pylori is now recognised as a treatable primary cause of both gastric ulcers and gastric adenocarcinoma. Most infections remain asymptomatic. Persons with signs and symptoms which correlate with potential infection with H pylori should be tested and, if positive, treated with a recognised triple antibiotic regimen. Evaluation of the response to the treatment regimen should be undertaken.
