Helicobacter pylori gastritis

*Helicobacter pylori* gastritis is an infectious inflammatory disorder of the gastric mucosa caused by colonization with the microaerophilic, gram-negative bacterium *Helicobacter pylori* Primarily affecting the gastrointestinal system, it is widespread across global pediatric and adult populations, often persisting indefinitely if untreated While frequently asymptomatic, the condition can present with dyspepsia or epigastric discomfort and may progress to mucosal atrophy, intestinal metaplasia,...

*Helicobacter pylori* gastritis is an infectious inflammatory disorder of the gastric mucosa caused by colonization with the microaerophilic, gram-negative bacterium *Helicobacter pylori* Pathophysiologically, bacterial virulence factors and urease production promote mucosal injury and stimulate a chronic inflammatory response marked by neutrophilic and mononuclear epithelial infiltration
