Abstract

The aim of this chapter is to review appropriate diagnostic tests and current treatment strategies for Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection. H. pylori has had an enormous impact on understanding and management of peptic ulcer disease (PUD). H. pylori infection is universally accepted as the commonest, although not the only, cause of PUD. Indeed the management of peptic ulcer now hinges on the characterization of the ulcer diathesis as H. pylori-positive or H. pylori-negative.
