The main provisions and headings of the new etiological classification of chronic gastritis are discussed in the context of recent data on the true role of Helicobacter pylori infection in the development of this pathology. The methods and results of the authors ’ investigations into gastric microflora are presented along with information about the frequency of detection of its different forms, concentration of microbial forms in gastric mucosa, their pathogenic properties including urease activity, and possible contribution to chronic gastritis etiology. The possibility of alcoholic and chemical chronic gastritis is discussed along with the role of these conditions in the development of stomach cancer. Special emphasis is laid on the disagreement between the adopted consensuses and principles of evidence-based medicine.
