Overview

Eradication of Helicobacter pylori with antimicrobial agents is indicated for patients with gastric or duodenal peptic ulceration who are colonized with Helicobacter pylori and patients with MALT lymphoma. Eradication therapy should also be considered for patients with immune thrombocytopenic purpura who are H. pylori positive or patients who have undergone resection for early-stage gastric cancer. The use of antibiotics is discouraged in asymptomatic carriers.

Medical Therapy

Diagnostic testing

The American Journal of Gastroenterology guidelines recommend that endoscopy should be performed to rule out peptic ulcer disease, esophagogastric malignancy, and other rare upper gastrointestinal tract disease in the following settings:

In patients aged 55 years or younger with no alarm features, two management options may be considered:

  • Test-and-treat strategy using a validated noninvasive test (urea breathing test or stool antigen test) for H. pylori and a trial of acid suppression if eradication is successful but symptoms do not resolve – preferable in populations with a moderate to high prevalence of H. pylori infection (≥ 10%)
  • Empiric trial of acid suppression with a proton pump inhibitor for 4–8 weeks – preferable in low prevalence situations

Repeat endoscopy is not recommended once a firm diagnosis of functional dyspepsia has been established, unless new symptoms or alarm features develop.[1] Testing to prove H. pylori eradication is most accurate if performed 4 weeks after the completion of therapy.[2]

Treatment strategies

  • The use of high-dose (twice a day) proton pump inhibitor (PPI) increases the efficacy of triple therapy.
  • In areas of low clarithromycin resistance, clarithromycin-containing treatments (PCA or PCM) are recommended for first-line empirical treatment. Bismuth-containing quadruple treatment is also an alternative.
  • In areas of high clarithromycin resistance, bismuth-containing quadruple treatment is recommended for first-line empirical treatment. If this regimen is not available, sequential treatment is recommended.
  • Extending the duration of triple treatment from 7 to 10–14 days improves the eradication success rate and may be considered.
  • After failure of a PPI-clarithromycin containing therapy, either a bismuth-containing quadruple treatment or levofloxacin-containing triple therapy (PLA) is recommended.
  • After failure of second-line treatment, treatment should be guided by antimicrobial susceptibility testing whenever possible.
  • The urea breath test or a laboratory based validated monoclonal stool test are both recommended as non-invasive tests for determining the success of eradication treatment.[3]
