Abstract

At the stage when peptic ulcers appeared to become clinically controlled by more and more potent acid inhibitory agents, the traditional concept of ulcer pathogenesis was turned upside down by the discovery of a microorganism specialized to infect the human gastric mucosa. Helicobacter pylori infection is now recognized as the predisposing key factor and has assigned to the gastric acid a contributory though important role in gastric and duodenal ulcerogenesis. The discovery of this bacterium has reopened the chapters of gastric physiology and pathophysiology and has substantially modified the clinical management of peptic ulcer disease by offering the anti-H. pylori therapy as the definitive cure for the great majority of patients suffering from gastric and duodenal ulcers. The new classification of peptic ulcers attains to a clear distinction of H. pylori-positive ulcers or ulcers of other and less frequent etiologies (Tab. 1), thereby addressing the proper management for each entity. Management now consists of antibiotics in addition to acid-suppressive agents.
