Management of Helicobacter pylori infection in ulcer disease.
Eradication of the bacterium not only heals the ulcer but essentially cures the underlying peptic ulcer disease. Although there is still no simple, all-purpose regimen, a decade of experience has identified safe, well- tolerated drug combinations that yield eradication rates exceeding 90% without generating a high frequency of bacterial resistance.
