Helicobacter pylori is increasingly recognised as a cause of gastritis and peptic ulceration and, in order to successfully treat this common problem, gastroenterologists must be aware of the latest epidemiological, chemical and research developments. This volume is a thorough review of the epidemiological, microbiological, molecular biological and immunological background of H.pylori with strong emphasis on chemical diagnosis and management and treatment with drugs. Professor Marshall who discovered this organism and who has pioneered new treatments heads an impressive team of authors to provide a practical, positive, clinically oriented approach to diagnosis and therapy.
