Pathogenicity of Helicobacter pylori is based partially on the production of toxic substances. On the other hand the gastric mucosal injury may be caused by the Helicobacter pylori-induced host inflammatory response. Considerable antibody response during Helicobacter pylori infection provides a ground for indirect non-invasive serological detection. Appropriate clinical applications of serological tests are based on a good understanding of the antibody response characteristics during Helicobacter pylori infection.
