In the rapidly evolving field of Helicobacter infection new

data on pathogenetic and pathophysiological mechanism have

appeared. New methods which will be more sensitive and

specific in the diagnosis of the infection are being

developed and in this proceedings the first attempt using

PCR technology is published. From the clinical point of

view, a challenging aspect that needs clarification, is the

observation which suggests an appearance of a correlation

between the presence of the bacteria and abdominal pain and

other symptoms in children whereas in old age no such

correlation is evident. The relationship of H. pylori and

gastric cancer is studied with histopathological data and

epidemiological approaches. On the treatment side schemes

using short courses and new antibiotic combinations are

being investigated and preliminary data are reported.
