SCHEMES FOR THE ERADICATION OF HELICOBACTER PYLORI STRAINS RESISTANT TO METRONIDAZOLE AMONG CHILDREN

Abstract

Treatment of the gastroenterological diseases associated with the helicobacterial infection is a complex issue. This is due to the new strains of microorganisms resistant to the medications applied. Based on the data acquired during the examination of 30 children, they showed the high efficacy of the scheme for the triple eradication therapy against helicobacteriosis, which included nifuroxazide suspension (enterofuril) along with omeprazole and clarithromycin. The authors also substantiated the expediency to prolong the treatment up to 10–14 days to improve the eradication efficacy.Key words: children, helicobacter pylori, nifuroxazide, treatment.
