Key Concepts

Peptic Ulcer Disease

Peptic ulcer disease refers to open sores that develop on the inside lining of the stomach and the upper portion of the small intestine. The development of ulcers is a result of an imbalance between aggressive factors (such as gastric acid and pepsin) and the gastrointestinal mucosal defense mechanisms.

Helicobacter pylori Infection

Helicobacter pylori is a gram-negative bacterium that is identified as the primary cause of peptic ulcers. It disrupts the mucosal barrier of the stomach and duodenum, leading to inflammation and increased acid exposure, which can result in ulcer formation.
