幽门螺旋杆菌(HP)是少数几种能在胃的酸性环境下生存的一种细菌。它在1893年即被人们发现。然直至最近几年,大量的研究表明HP是造成慢性活动性胃炎的主要因素,继而在易感人群中引起十二指肠溃疡和非药物性溃疡。最近美国国家健康组织召开了题目为“HP和溃疡病的专题会议”。会上通过对人量的数据,资料的讨论,决定在溃疡病的治疗中,HP的根除应作为常规的治疗方法,以便对溃疡的治疗达到治愈的目的,而不是过去的单纯愈合。 Helicobacter pylori (HP) is one of the few bacteria that can survive in the stomach’s acidic environment. It was discovered in 1893. However, until recent years, a large number of studies have shown that HP is the main cause of chronic active gastritis, which in turn leads to duodenal ulcer and non-drug ulcer in susceptible population. Recently, the United States National Health Organization held a topic entitled “HP and ulcer disease conference.” At the meeting through the data on the amount of people, data discussion, decided in the treatment of ulcer disease, HP should be used as a routine treatment of eradication in order to cure the ulcer to achieve the purpose, rather than the past, simple healing.
