<i>Helicobacter pylori</i> Management in Africa: A Survey of Diagnostic, Treatment, and Related Resources
This survey has demonstrated the diversity of practice and resource availability within the African continent. Several international guidelines exist on the management of H. pylori, but little data is available in Africa on how this condition is managed in every day clinical practice. There is an urgent need to formulate evidence-based and locally relevant practice guidelines on the African continent. In this context, the African Helicobacter and Microbiota study group was formed to coordinate efforts across the continent on H. pylori research to provide guidance on its management. This paper, therefore, aimed to evaluate the practice of H. pylori diagnostics and management, as well as related resources in representative countries in Africa, to facilitate the development of such guidelines.
