Abstract:
H. pylori-associated gastritis: diagnostic, treatment and surveillance Abstract. Helicobacter pylori infections are limited to the stomach and represent globally the infectious disease with the highest prevalence. H. pylori infection causes in almost 100 % a chronic gastritis and is the main cause of relevant diseases such as atrophic gastritis, peptic ulcer disease and gastric cancer (class I carcinogen according to WHO). Accordingly, a H. pylori associated gastritis signifies a high-impact health economic disease, leading to significant morbidity and mortality. This review summarizes key points regarding diagnosis, treatment and follow-up.

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...

An acute ulcer, marked by superficial erosion and minimal inflammation, swiftly resolves upon identifying and addressing the underlying cause. In contrast, a chronic ulcer persists, potentially eroding through the muscular wall and forming fibrous tissue.
