- Item14-day triple, 5-day concomitant, and 10-day sequential therapies for Helicobacter pylori infection in seven Latin American sites: a randomised trial(ELSEVIER SCIENCE INC, 2011) Greenberg, E. Robert; Anderson, Garnet L.; Morgan, Douglas R.; Torres, Javier; Chey, William D.; Eduardo Bravo, Luis; Dominguez, Ricardo L.; Ferreccio, Catterina; Herrero, Rolando; Lazcano Ponce, Eduardo C.; Mercedes Meza Montenegro, Maria; Pena, Rodolfo; Pena, Edgar M.; Salazar Martinez, Eduardo; Correa, Pelayo; Elena Martinez, Maria; Valdivieso, Manuel; Goodman, Gary E.; Crowley, John J.; Baker, Laurence H.Background Evidence from Europe, Asia, and North America suggests that standard three-drug regimens of a proton-pump inhibitor plus amoxicillin and clarithromycin are significantly less effective for eradication of Helicobacter pylori infection than are 5-day concomitant and 10-day sequential four-drug regimens that include a nitroimidazole. These four-drug regimens also entail fewer antibiotic doses than do three-drug regimens and thus could be suitable for eradication programmes in low-resource settings. Few studies in Latin America have been done, where the burden of H pylori-associated diseases is high. We therefore did a randomised trial in Latin America comparing the effectiveness of four-drug regimens given concomitantly or sequentially with that of a standard 14-day regimen of triple therapy.
