title: [Helicobacter pylori - Update 2013].
abstract: Helicobacter pylori has an important role in the pathogenesis of peptic ulcer, adenocarcinoma of the stomach, lymphoma of the stomach and autoimmune gastritis. Furthermore Helicobacter pylori is involved in the development of symptoms in patients with dyspepsia. Guidelines of the German Society of Digestive Diseases (DGVS) and recommendations of the European Helicobacter Study Group (Maastricht-Consensus) exist for the diagnosis and treatment of Helicobacter pylori and were recently published in updated versions. The German approval and introduction of a new quadrupel eradication therapy for Helicobacter pylori infections is a good occasion to outline and discuss the current state of the art of diagnosis and treatment of Helicobacter pylori in Germany.
