Principles of Eradication Therapy for Helicobacter pylori infection
Indications for diagnosis and treatment, established:[ 1]
Active peptic ulcer disease.
Confirmed history of peptic ulcer disease not previously treated for H. pylori .
Gastric MALT lymphoma.
After endoscopic resection of early gastric cancer.
Uninvestigated dyspepsia (review H. pylori prevalence).
Low clarithromycin resistance areas (<15%) :[ 2]
In areas of low resistance the PPI-clarithromycin-containing triple therapy is recommended as the first-line treatment as well as bismuth-containing quadruple therapy .
In areas of low resistance after failure of a PPI-clarithromycin-containing treatment , either a bismuth-containing quadruple therapy or levofloxacin-containing triple therapy is recommended .
High clarithromycin resistance areas (≥15%) :[ 2]
In areas of high resistance , bismuth-containing quadruple therapy are recommended for first-line treatment.
In areas of high resistance after failure of bismuth containing quadruple therapy , levofloxacin containing triple therapy is recommended.
After failure of second-line treatment , treatment should be guided by antimicrobial susceptibility testing.[ 2]

FDA PPI standard doses:[ 1]
Lansoprazole 30 mg q12h.
Omeprazole 20 mg q12h.
Esomeprazole 40 mg q24h.
Rabeprazole 20 mg q12h.
FDA approved first line regimens duration:[ 1]
Triple therapy: 7 days (10 days if rabeprazole ).
Quadruple therapy: 4 weeks.
Confirm the eradication of H. pylori infection in patients who have had an H. pylori -associated ulcer or gastric MALT lymphoma or who have undergone resection for early gastric cancer.[ 5]
The urea breathing test is the most reliable nonendoscopic test to document eradication of H. pylori infection.[ 1]
Testing to prove H. pylori eradication is most accurate if performed at 4 weeks after the completion of eradication therapy.[ 5]
