Abstract
Helicobacter pylori infects about half of the world's population. H. pylori elicits marked immune responses, but the infection is commonly life-long. Some infected individuals remain asymptomatic, while others develop significant gastroduodenal disease. We review the underlying host immune response to H. pylori which programs for persistence and evolution of gastroduodenal disease.Entities:
