Discovery of the bacterium Helicobacter pylori (Hp) and the causality between Helicobacter pylori infection and the appearance of acute/chronic gastritis, gastric atrophy, gastric and duodenal ulcer and MALT lymphoma, represent an epochal event of our time. For more than a decade Helicobacter pylori has been the main topic of numerous expert-scientific meetings all over the world. Inexhaustible information sources create a monumental "quantity" of knowledge, which enabled better understanding of the pathogenesis of the digestive tract proximal segment.

Discovery of the receptors on parietal cell membrane and the function of "acidic" (protonic) pump is another fascinating event, based on the progress of biochemistry, microscopy, calculation of the structure as well as physiology of parietal cell secretion, which will be used by creative pharmacology in the production of potent antisecretory drugs.

The authors of the book "Helicobacter Pylori - 100 Questions and Answers", motivated by the moment of need, have consolidated and recorded the knowledges on Helicobacter pylori infection in all segments of our medicine literature. A complete lesson on Helicobacter pylori infection from epidemiology, microbiology of the causative agent, pathogenesis of the causatively connected diseases with Helicobacter pylori infection, clinical observations to diagnostics and therapy was delivered in an original and witty manner in the form of 100 questions and answers.
