Abstract

The reciprocal influence of Helicobacter pylori infection and gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GORD), if both conditions occur concomitantly, has been an issue of debate for many years. The critical question is whether eradication of H pylori has a more beneficial, harmful, or simply no effect on the course of GORD.

  • Helicobacter pylori
  • eradication
  • gastro-oesophageal reflux disease
  • reflux oesophagitis
  • GORD, gastro-oesophageal reflux disease
