Abstract:
Recently, H. pylori has been associated with several extradigestive diseases such as cardio-vascular, cutaneous, autoimmune, allergic, liver, hematologic disorders, diabetes mellitus, pediatric diseases (sudden infant death syndrome, growth retardation), extragastric MALT-type lymphomas and even colorectal cancer. The potential role of H. pylori infection in the pathogenesis of these extradigestive disorders has been based on the following facts: 1) local gastric infection with H. pylori may exert systemic effects; 2) during chronic H. pylori induced gastritis several different inflammatory mediators are released that are able to cause disorders remote to the primary site of infection and 3) the successful eradication of H. pylori infection improves partly or completely the extradigestive disorders. The available data is conflicting because of the presence of several confounding factors in epidemiological studies. On the basis of the published data any of these associations has been proved. Further prospective studies to explain the association between H. pylori and extradigestive disorders are needed.

Clinical manifestations of acute gastritis
The patient with acute gastritis may have a rapid onset of symptoms, such as epigastric pain or discomfort, dyspepsia, anorexia, hiccups, or nausea and vomiting, which can last from a few hours to a few days. Erosive or hemorrhagic gastritis may cause bleeding, which may manifest as blood in vomit or as...
Peptic Ulcer Disease III: Clinical Manifestations and Diagnostic Studies
Few clinical manifestations differentiate gastric ulcers from duodenal ulcers. Distinctions in the location, timing, and pain relief are crucial for healthcare providers in differentiating between gastric and duodenal ulcers during clinical assessments.
