Abstract
Background: Helicobacter pylori (Hp) infection has previously been thought to account for nearly all chronic gastritis. However, recent studies have suggested that Hp-negative gastritis is common and increasing in prevalence in the United States. The etiology and associated risk factors for Hp-negative gastritis remain uncertain.
