Overview

The volume features contributions to the 4th Workshop of the Helicobacter Pylori Study Group, held in Bologna, Italy, in November 1991. Current topics discussed include: symptoms and histology of nonulcerous dyspepsia; the role of surgical infections in geriatric age; pathogenic mechanisms associated with structural factors of the bacterium (toxins, adhesins, agglutinins) as well as with the host immune response; the role of serology in the diagnosis of the infection; aspects of molecular biology of the bacterium; and the newest therapeutic approaches.
