The role of this organism in the development of non-ulcer dyspepsia, gastric cancer, lymphoma and even heart disease is also attracting much interest. For those whose speciality lies outside of gastroenterology it is extremely difficult to keep abreast of this rapidly moving area. In the last year alone (1998), 1,300 works on Helicobacter pylori have been published. With this in mind, The Helicobacter pylori Handbook/b> provides a concise and up-to-date review of H.pylori infection, with updated sections on its diagnosis and treatment, and the position of H.pylori eradication in the management of gastrointestinal disorders.
