Ulcers located at the end of the stomach (where the duodenum is attached) cause swelling and scarring, which can narrow or close the intestinal opening. Disease has certain biomarkers which are used to establish presence of serum antibodies in patients that also display state of tissue damage and recurrence. Helicobacter pylori transmit from human to human and colonize very fast inside the stomach mucosa and generate serum antibody response.
