TL;DR

Despite the prevalent nature of acid–related disorders in the oesophagus, the role of Helicobacter pylori in this localisation has received little or no attention and therefore remains to a large extent unknown.

Abstract

The occurrence and pathogenic properties of Helicobacter pylori have been studied extensively in the stomach [1–7] and in the duodenum [8–11]. Despite the prevalent nature of acid–related disorders in the oesophagus, the role of Helicobacter pylori in this localisation has received little or no attention and therefore remains to a large extent unknown.
