Diagnosis and Management of Helicobacter pylori
Journal Title: Journal of Clinical Gastroenterology and Treatment - Year 2016, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
Helicobacter pylori is a common infection linked to dyspepsia, peptic ulcer disease, gastritis, gastric cancer, and MALT lymphoma. Endoscopic and nonendoscopic options may be used to diagnose H. pylori and confirm its eradication. Fourteen days of triple or quadruple therapy may be used as initial therapy, although clarithromycin-based triple therapy has become less effective over time. Quadruple therapy or sequential therapy have been increasingly utilized. Previously prescribed antibiotics should be avoided in management of persistent H. pylori infection. Eradication should be confirmed in patients with peptic ulcer disease, MALT lymphoma, or gastric cancer.
