[Reflections on the significance of detecting Campylobacter pylori in a biopsy of the stomach mucosa]

Abstract

The inevitable confrontation with Campylobacter pyloridis implicates the surgeon to take into consideration this germ. For that reason we have examinated Campylobacter-positive patients with regard to histological changes of the gastric mucosa and to clinical symptoms. Apart from the fact, that there was no Campylobacter colonisation in the healthy gastric mucosa, there were not found specific features for the germ.
