[Effectiveness of anti-ulcer agents and the extent of gastric mucosa contamination with Helicobacter pylori].
Effectiveness of H. pylori eradication was studied in 56 ulcer patients (46 males, 10 females). It was compared to the degree of gastric mucosa contamination with H. pylori. A correlation was found between H. pylori eradication, time of ulcer healing and severity of the infection. Patients with high contamination demonstrated the least frequency of eradication and the longest time of healing. It is suggested to perform eradication treatment of H. pylori adjusting its duration to the degree of the bacterial contamination.
