title: [Ulcer symptoms without demonstration of ulcer: causative therapy with demonstration of Helicobacter pylori].
abstract: Helicobacter pylori-associated gastritis was found by endoscopy in 15 (= 28%) out of 53 patients presenting gastric pain of ulcer type without macroscopically detectable lesion of the gastric mucosa. Following a treatment of four weeks with bismuth subcitrate tablets (2 x 2 tablets daily), in 73% improvement of histological findings and in 87% elimination of bacteria could be attained. Thus, this causal therapy had a favourable effect on patient complaints.
