Helicobacter pylori resistance
This bacterium affects half the
world's population, but especially among children in developing countries.
This bacterium has an arsenal of
defense that allows him
- To resist gastric acidity
- To move in the gastric mucus
- To evade the immune system of
the host.
The bacterium enters the mucus
with its flagella and reached the epithelium.
It is very adherent to gastric
cells resistant to the humoral and cellular immune responses of the host.
It causes acute and chronic
gastritis:
She is responsible for a
- Duodenal Ulcer
- Gastric ulcer
- Adenocarcinoma of the distal
stomach
- Malt lymphoma
Its eradication is essential to
avoid these complications.
Properly treated it disappears in
18 to 24 months sometimes leaving sequelae (atrophy, intestinal metaplasia)
