Helicobacter Pylori

This text is an up-to-date clinical reference manual on the subject of helicobacter pylori for non-specialists and gastroenterologists. One of the fastest moving areas of medicine, research into Helicobacter pylori (Hp) since its discovery a decade ago has resulted in numerous possibilities for the treatment of peptic ulcers, gastritis and gastric cancer. With this has come a flood of scientific and clinical data and a range of new drug therapies. Only recently have international committees started to reach consensus on recommendations for Hp eradication and suppression. This book should provide the most authoritative and current statement on the practical consequences of this knowledge for physicians world-wide.
