    (2003) Harris, PR; Godoy, A; Arenillas, S; Riera, F; García, D; Einisman, H; Peña, A; Rollán, T; Duarte, I; Guiraldes, E; Perez-Perez, G
    Background: The bacterial and host factors that influence the clinical outcomes of the Helicobacter pylori infection have not been fully identified. Cytotoxin-associated gene product (CagA), one of the virulence factors, has been associated with a more aggressive form of infection. The authors studied the relationship between CagA status and clinical outcome in Chilean children and adults with H. pylori infection.
