Debating the role of Helicobacter pylori infection.
Discussion continues on the role of Helicobacter pylori. The following debate provides a venue to examine 2 sides of this complicated issue. Dr. Vakil presents evidence that the eradication of H pylori will improve patients' health, while Dr. Go introduces evidence that suggests the presence of H pylori can be beneficial in particular cases. These clinicians also discuss the issue of whether to test and treat for H pylori and the role of H pylori in patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease.
