Editor's Notes

  1. Studies show that about 95% of patients with DU & 85% with GU are infected with H. pylori
  2. It causes a pangastritis more bacterial proliferation production of mutagenic nitrites from dietary nitrates, predisposing to gastric Ca. (1% of infected ppl.)
  3. Easy test and highly sensitive and specific. In the presence of urease produced by H pylori, labeled carbon dioxide (heavy isotope, C13 or C14) is produced in the stomach, absorbed into the bloodstream, diffused into the lungs, and exhaled
  4. Blatchford: blood urea, haemoglobin value, systolic blood pressure and pulse rate and co morbidities
