lüll Helicobacter pylori-related disease: guidelines for testing and treatment Peterson WL; Fendrick AM; Cave DR; Peura DA; Garabedian-Ruffalo SM; Laine LArch Intern Med 2000[May]; 160 (9): 1285-91OBJECTIVE: To develop practical guidelines for the treatment of patients with suspected and documented Helicobacter pylori-related gastroduodenal diseases. METHODS: A panel of physicians with expertise in H. pylori reviewed, critically appraised, and synthesized the literature on assigned topics and presented their overviews to the panel. Consensus was obtained in controversial areas through discussion. RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS: The panel recommended testing for H. pylori in patients with active ulcers, a history of ulcers, or gastric mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphomas. Young, otherwise healthy patients with ulcerlike dyspepsia and those with a family history or fear of gastric cancer may also undergo H pylori testing. Non-endoscopic methods are preferred for H. pylori diagnosis. Dual medication regimens should not be used for therapy; twice-daily triple therapy with a proton pump inhibitor or ranitidine bismuth citrate, clarithromycin, and amoxicillin for 10 to 14 days is an appropriate therapy. Posttreatment assessment of H. pylori status using urea breath testing should be considered in patients with a documented history of ulcer disease or with persistent symptoms.|*Helicobacter Infections/diagnosis/drug therapy[MESH]|*Helicobacter pylori[MESH]|Adenocarcinoma/microbiology[MESH]|Algorithms[MESH]|Dyspepsia/microbiology[MESH]|Gastrointestinal Diseases/*drug therapy/*microbiology[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Peptic Ulcer/microbiology[MESH]|Practice Guidelines as Topic[MESH]|Stomach Neoplasms/microbiology[MESH] |
