| Abstract | Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori), a gram-negative bacterium, 1 was first isolated from humans in 1982. H. pylori infection is one of the most common infections in humans, with estimated 2 50% of the world population being infected. The infection is strongly associated with chronic gastritis, peptic ulcer, 3 adenocarcinoma and non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma of stomach. An infected individual has an estimated lifetime risk of 1020% for the development of peptic ulcer disease, which is at least 3-4 folds higher than in non-infected subjects, and <1% 2 will develop gastric cancer. H. pylori infection can be diagnosed in 90-100% of duodenal ulcer patients and in 604 100% of gastric ulcer patients. A recent study found that the prevalence of H. pylori infection was higher in Bangladeshi than in Japanese subjects (60.2 and 45.1%, respectively) with abdominal complaints who underwent endoscopy 5 examinations and had no history of H. pylori eradication. H. Pylori infection is primarily acquired during childhood and typically clusters within families.
