Abstract:
The Asia - Pacific region Agreement 1997 on the management of H. pylori infection recommended the diagnosis and treatment of H. pylori. For diagnosis, urease test was the best technique. The histological tests only used when the unease test was negative. The treatment involved some guidelines: guideline 1 (PPI + clarithromycin 500mg + amoxycilline 100mg), guideline 2 (PPI + clorithromycin 500 mg + metrinidazole 400 mg), guideline 3 (RBC 400mg+ clarithromycin 500 mg + metronidazole 400mg), and guideline 4 (PPI + amoxycilline + metronidazole) within 7 days x 2 times a day.
