23. Helicobacter Pylori
H. pylori (helicobacter pylori) is a bacteria that can cause digestive illnesses, including gastritis and peptic ulcer disease.

Signs and Symptoms:
H. pylori (Helicobacter pylori) is a bacteria that can cause digestive illnesses, including gastritis (inflammation/infection of the stomach lining) and peptic ulcer disease (sores on the lining of the stomach or small intestine). But even though H. pylori can cause these illnesses, experts believe that most H. pylori infections are "silent" and produce no symptoms. So anyone, including a child, can have an H. pylori infection without knowing it. When the bacteria do cause symptoms, they are usually either symptoms of gastritis or peptic ulcer disease. In children, symptoms of gastritis may include nausea, vomiting, and frequent complaints about pain in the abdomen. However, these symptoms are seen in many childhood illnesses. H. pylori can also cause peptic ulcers, which are sores on the inside lining of the stomach or duodenum (a portion of the small intestine). Peptic ulcers are commonly known as stomach ulcers. In older children and adults, the most common symptom of peptic ulcer disease is a gnawing or burning pain in the abdomen, usually in the area below the ribs and above the navel. This pain typically gets worse when someone with ulcers has an empty stomach and improves as soon as they eat food, drink milk, or take antacid medicine.

Helicobacter Pylori This unusual name identifies a specific bacteria that can cause infection of the stomach. This infection can contribute to the development of diseases, such as dyspepsia (heartburn, bloating and nausea), gastritis (inflammation of the stomach), and ulcers in the stomach and duodenum. It will be useful to know some things about the upper digestive tract to understand how and where Helicobacter pylori infection can occur. When food is swallowed, it passes through the esophagus (the tube that connects the throat to the stomach). It then enters the larger upper part of the stomach. A strong acid that helps to break down the food is secreted in the stomach. The narrower, lower part of the stomach is called the antrum. The antrum contracts frequently and vigorously, grinding up the food and squirting it into the small intestine. The duodenum is the first part of the small intestine, just beyond the stomach. The stomach, including the antrum, is covered by a layer of mucous that protects it from the strong stomach acid. It is known that alcohol, aspirin, and arthritis drugs such as ibuprofen can disrupt the protective mucous layer. This allows the strong stomach acid to injure underlying stomach cells. In some people, corticosteroids, smoking, and stress appear to contribute in some way. Until the mid 1980s, it was felt that one or more of these factors working together led to the development of gastritis and ulcers. Since that time, evidence has been mounting that Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) has a major role in causing these diseases.

Description of Helicobacter pylori Helicobacter pylori is a spiral-shaped, Gram-negative rod approximately 0.5 x 3.0 micrometers in size. The catalase-positive organism has 4-6 sheathed flagella attached to one pole which allow for motility.
History Barry Marshall and Robin Warren of Perth, Western Australia, discovered H. pylori in 1983. Originally, the organism was named Campylobacter pyloridis because it was structurally similar to other Campylobacter species, such as C. jejuni C. jejuni is a gut pathogen which has the ability to colonize the gastric mucosa. C. pyloridis was renamed Campylobacter pylori to fit in with the names of other enteric pathogens. In 1989, it was finally named Helicobacter pylori based on functional and enzymatic properties.
Linkage to Gastrointestinal Disease Studies have linked H. pylori to gastrointestinal disease in humans. Even though H. pylori

(2) The activity of amoxicillin is enhanced when it is taken with omeprazole. Omeprazole and amoxicillin should be started at the same time. An H2-receptor antagonist or omeprazole should be continued for four to six more weeks to heal the ulcer.

Das Bakterium
Helicobacter pylori ist ein Bakterium . Es ist nur ungefähr drei Tausendstel Millimeter groß. Es besitzt eine spiralige, leicht gekrümmte Form und hat an seinem Ende mehrere Geißeln. Mit diesen Geißeln kann es sich schnell fortbewegen. In der Schleimhautschicht des Magens findet Helicobacter pylori ideale Lebensbedingungen. Die Magenschleimhaut hat genau den richtigen Anteil an Sauerstoff, den das Bakterium für seine Vermehrung braucht. Gleichzeitig schützt die Magenschleimhaut das Bakterium vor der aggressiven Magensäure.
Toxin begünstigt die Entstehung von Magengeschwüren.
Diese Lebensbedingungen findet das Bakterium schon vor. Zusätzlich dazu bildet Helicobacter pylori einen Stoff, der in den Stoffwechsel der Magenschleimhautzellen eingreift und indirekt dafür sorgt, dass zu viel Magensäure produziert wird. Es kommt zu einer chronischen Entzündung. Toxine (Giftstoffe), die direkt vom Bakterium abgesondert werden, greifen außerdem direkt die Magenschleimhaut an. So können Geschwüre auch ohne die vermehrte Produktion von Magensäure entstehen.

Introduction The description of Helicobacter pylori (HP) in 1983 has spawned an entirely new body of medical literature. We can now state that HP causes most cases of histologic gastritis, is etiologic in most patients with peptic ulcers (although acid is also necessary), and may be a predisposing factor in the development of gastric carcinoma. Although some have suggested that HP is responsible for non-ulcer dyspepsia, this has not been borne out in studies available at the present time. HP colonization of the stomach does not appear to be a new phenomenon. Descriptions of bacteria in the gastric mucosa of animals and humans date back approximately 100 years. The natural habitat of HP is the human stomach. The method of HP transmission is not clearly defined, but circumstantial evidence is consistent with fecal-oral transmission. Histologic gastritis has long been recognized to be a common finding in the normal population, and its presence is closely paralleled by the presence of HP. The prevalence of HP and gastritis in asymptomatic subjects from the U.S. and Europe increases with age, rising from about 10% in the twenties to about 50% in the fifties to sixties. In contrast, HP and histologic gastritis develop at an earlier age and with much greater frequency in developing countries; perhaps 80% of people in these areas are infected during childhood or adolescence. Smoking, alcohol, and gender do not appear to influence HP prevalence.

Hunt, FRCP, FACG for and on behalf of the Ad Hoc Committee on Practice Parameters of the American College of Gastroenterology Introduction The realization that H. pylori infection is the single most common cause of peptic ulcer has had an enormous impact on our approaches to the management of ulcer disease. The National Institutes of Health (NIH) Consensus Development Conference of 1994 and the American Digestive Health Foundation (ADHF) International Update Conference of 1997 recommended that all ulcer patients with H. pylori infection be treated for the infection. Today, there is no longer any serious debate about the value or appropriateness of such treatment that is based on overwhelming evidence from clinical trials reinforced by several years of clinical practice. Furthermore, there are enormous economic benefits from successfully treating the infection in ulcer patients. Successful eradication of the infection can be equated with cure of the ulcer disease in most individuals who are not exposed to any other known ulcerogen such as aspirin or a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). Patients who are cured of ulcer disease will consume fewer health care resources.

Helicobacter pylori
Helicobacter pylori (which is written in an abbreviated form as H. pylori ) is a form of bacteria, a bug or germ, that lives in the sticky fluid (mucus) which coats the lining of the human stomach and duodenum. It is usually a life-long infection and may cause no problems. However, it is often associated with peptic ulcer. This leaflet answers questions that you may want to ask about H. pylori. What is a peptic ulcer?
Peptic ulcers look like mouth ulcers. They are sensitive raw patches in the lining of the stomach or duodenum (the part of the gut immediately after the stomach).
What are gastric and duodenal ulcers?
Gastric ulcers are ulcers in the stomach, and duodenal ulcers are those of the duodenum. Research has shown that H. pylori is an important cause of peptic ulcers. Where does H. pylori come from? H. pylori is a germ that can only infect human beings. Animals have similar bacteria, but they cannot infect humans. Hence, H. pylori
