Furthermore, explaining of the mechanism and clinical manifestations of symptoms. The research focuses on risk factors, transmission, diagnostic evaluation, and the implications for nursing care. The best-available evidence offers concrete data examining the detrimental effects of the immune and inflammatory response stimulated by H. pylori. A description of the functional structures of H. pylori and its’ ability to survive. The research provides evidence of the value of eradication of this pathogen.
