H. pylori infection

Helicobacter pylori, also known as H. pylori, is a bacterium that can live in the human stomach. Approximately half of the world’s population is infected with H. pylori. H. pylori infection can be asymptomatic or may present with nonspecific digestive symptoms. However, H. pylori infection can lead to gastritis, stomach ulcers, and, less commonly, stomach cancer. The diagnosis of H. pylori infection is typically made through biopsy-based tests, breath tests, or stool antigen testing. Treatment for H. pylori involves a combination of two antibiotics and acid-suppressing medications, possibly accompanied by bismuth.
