Overview

Helicobacter pylori infection is a common cause of peptic ulcer disease which is acquired usually during childhood but presents in second to fifth decade of life. Patient presents with episodic epigastric pain, indigestion, bloating,hematemesis and melena. If not treated, patients can develop complications like bleeding, perforation, obstruction or stricture. Chronic infection of helicobacter pylori leads to gastric cancer, MALT lymphoma, iron deficiency anemia, Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura. Peptic ulcers tend to recur if left untreated. Prognosis is good if the eradication therapy of Helicobacter pylori is taken.The recurrence rate of patients with peptic ulcer disease is less than 20%.
