Abstract:
Helicobacter pylori (Hp) resides in the epithelium of gastric mucosa and can cause chronic inflammation. Under the conventional white light endoscopy, normal gastric mucosa, current Hp-infected gastric mucosa and past Hp-infected gastric mucosa have different endoscopic features. High-resolution white light endoscopy and various new image-enhanced endoscopy are helpful to accurately diagnose the infection of Hp, and thereby improving the detection rate of early gastric cancer by identifying the high-risk endoscopic manifestations related to gastric cancer. This article reviewed the endoscopic diagnosis of Hp infection and its clinical value.
