Ital J Gastroenterol Hepatol 1998, 30:478–480. An autoreaction of gastric mucosa may be found in H. pylori gastritis in childhood, indicating the possible role of H. pylori in the progression from gastritis to atrophy and possible cancer in later life.

The findings from this study indicate that enhanced antral cellular proliferation may be linked to H. pylori infection, supporting the hypothesis of association with increased risk of neoplasia.
