The Indian Society of Gastroenterology (ISG) felt the need to organize a consensus on Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection and to update the current management of H. pylori infection; hence, ISG constituted the ISG's Task Force on Helicobacter pylori. The Task Force on H. pylori undertook an exercise to produce consensus statements on H. pylori infection. Twenty-five experts from different parts of India, including gastroenterologists, pathologists, surgeons, epidemiologists, pediatricians, and microbiologists participated in the meeting. The participants were allocated to one of following sections for the meeting: Epidemiology of H. pylori infection in India and H. pylori associated conditions; diagnosis; treatment and retreatment; H. pylori and gastric cancer, and H. pylori prevention/public health. Each group reviewed all published literature on H. pylori infection with special reference to the Indian scenario and prepared appropriate statements on different aspects for voting and consensus development. This consensus, which was produced through a modified Delphi process including two rounds of face-to-face meetings, reflects our current understanding and recommendations for the diagnosis and management of H. pylori infection. These consensus should serve as a reference for not only guiding treatment of H. pylori infection but also to guide future research on the subject.
印度胃肠病学会（ISG）认为有必要就幽门螺杆菌（H. pylori）感染组织一次共识会议，并更新当前幽门螺杆菌感染的管理方法；因此，ISG成立了ISG幽门螺杆菌特别工作组。幽门螺杆菌特别工作组开展了一项工作，以制定关于幽门螺杆菌感染的共识声明。来自印度不同地区的25位专家参加了会议，包括胃肠病学家、病理学家、外科医生、流行病学家、儿科医生和微生物学家。会议将参与者分配到以下几个分组之一：印度幽门螺杆菌感染的流行病学及幽门螺杆菌相关疾病；诊断；治疗与再治疗；幽门螺杆菌与胃癌，以及幽门螺杆菌预防/公共卫生。每个小组审查了所有已发表的关于幽门螺杆菌感染的文献，并特别参考了印度的情况，就不同方面准备了适当的声明以供投票和达成共识。该共识通过包括两轮面对面会议的改良德尔菲法产生，反映了我们目前对幽门螺杆菌感染诊断和管理的理解及建议。这些共识不仅应作为指导幽门螺杆菌感染治疗的参考，也应指导该主题的未来研究。
