MANDADO PEREZ, Sara et al. Imágenes citológicas de Helicobacter heilmannii (Gastrospirillum hominis), bacteria gástrica no reportada en Cuba. Rev Cubana Invest Bioméd [online]. 2002, vol.21, n.3, pp.207-213. ISSN 0864-0300.

632 gastric brush cytologies taken by endoscopy from adult patients with chronic gastritis and/or gastric ulcer in order to diagnose Helicobacter pylori were observed. In a patient with gastric ulcer, the urease test was positive, whereas the H. pylori cytology was negative. Other spiral bacteria that had been only found in literature were detected, measured and photographed. Gastropirillum hominis was reported. The patient received treatment with Q-ulcer, metronidazole, tetracycline and metroclopramide. 2 months later, the endoscopy was repeated and ulcer had disappeared. A slightly more acute chronic gastritis was reported then. There was no biliary reflux. Urease was negative and the bacteria described in the previous sample were not found.
