First-line Helicobacter pylori therapy fails in more than 20% of patients. Quadruple therapy is the suggested second-line therapy, but bismuth salts are not anymore available worldwide. This study aimed to assess the efficacy of a levofloxacin-amoxycillin triple therapy as a second-line treatment, and the role of primary levofloxacin resistance.

Abstract

First-line Helicobacter pylori therapy fails in more than 20% of patients. Quadruple therapy is the suggested second-line therapy, but bismuth salts are not anymore available worldwide. This study aimed to assess the efficacy of a levofloxacin-amoxycillin triple therapy as a second-line treatment, and the role of primary levofloxacin resistance.
