ABSTRACT
Helicobacter Pylori is considered to be the agent responsible for peptic ulcers and gastritis, and its eradication represents a main objective in the treatment of digestive diseases. We present the case report of a female patient diagnosed with chronic Helicobacter Pylori infection, where symptoms manifested after the patient was raped. In the context of psychological trauma, digestive manifestations such as ulcer and gastritis were identified, greatly exacerbated as compared with the endoscopic and histological aspect of the gastric mucosa. The patient simultaneously developed a complex psychiatric pathology. The association between Helicobacter Pylori chronic gastritis, somatization and trauma is discussed.
