Abstract
Helicobacter pylori can be eradicated easily in most patients with a 14-day triple-therapy regimen. In patients in whom this treatment fails or who cannot take a full course, other antimicrobial combinations must be considered. This article discusses the various alternatives and explains why various agents should or should not be used. It also includes many new therapies developed in 1992 that allow the physician to treat virtually all H. pylori infections.
