Epidemiology of Helicobacter pylori: acquisition, transmission, population prevalence and disease-to-infection ratio
Abstract
This article focuses on factors relating to acquiring Helicobacter pylori, including re-acquiring H. pylori infection after successfully treatment. It considers variables that increase the risk of infection and explores the chances that an infected individual will develop symptomatic disease.
