Revision as of 01:37, 8 March 2021

Background

Slow-growing Gram-negative microaerophilic bacillus with a curve, gull-wing, or spiral appearance
Oxidase-positive and urease-positive
Major cause of peptic ulcer disease and gastric cancer

Management

Duration: 14 days
First-line:
- PBMT (PPI, bismuth, metronidazole, tetracycline)
- PAMC (PPI, amoxicillin, metronidazole, clarithromycin)
- PAC (PPI, amoxicillin, clarithromycin), PMC (PPI, metronidazole, clarithromycin), or PAM (PPI, amoxicillin, metronidazole) only in areas with clarithromycin resistance <15% or with proven high local eradication rates >85%
Prior treatment failure:
- PBMT (PPI, bismuth, metronidazole, tetracycline)
- PAL (PPI, amoxicillin, levofloxacin)
- PAR (PPI, amoxicillin, rifabutin) as last-line
Doses:
- PBMT
  - Bismuth subsalicylate 262 mg 2 tablets PO qid
  - Metronidazole 500 MG PO tid or qid
  - PPI: esomeprazole 20 mg, lansoprazole 30 mg, omeprazole 20 mg, pantoprazole 40 mg, or rabeprazole 20 mg
    - Some areas use double dosing
  - Tetracycline 500 mg PO qid
- Others
  - Amoxicillin 1000 mg PO bid
  - Clarithromycin 500 mg PO bid
  - Levofloxacin 500 mg PO daily
  - Metronidazole 500 mg PO bid
  - Rifabutin 150 mg PO bid
  - PPI as above
