Definitive Treatment of Peptic Ulcer Disease by Eradication of Helicobacter Pylori (H.pylori) Therapeutics Initiative (University of British Columbia)

Description

Therapeutics Letter 2 discusses treatment of peptic ulcer disease by eradicating Helicobacter Pylori (H.pylori). H. pylori infection should be treated in patients with proven gastric or duodenal ulcers who are infected with H. pylori, as well as in patients with previously proven recurrent duodenal ulcers who are currently requiring maintenance antiulcer therapy. For management of the small number of peptic ulcers in children a definitive endoscopic and microbiological diagnosis is advisable.
