Abstract

Helicobacter pylori infection is the most common infectious disease worldwide. It is associated with duodenal and gastric ulcer disease and the risk of gastric neoplasia. The management of helicobacter pylori infection currently represents a real challenge for clinicians, given the ever-increasing rate of resistance of Helicobacter pyolori to various antibiotics. In this consensus document, we present recommendations adapted to the Tunisian context, including indications for the detection of helicobacter pylori infection, indications for the use of different diagnostic methods, and a therapeutic strategy for the management of Helicobacter pylori infection.
