Objective: Determine the frequency of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection in our population, the response to triplequadruple regimen and resistance to clarithromycin.
Study Design and Setting: Study design is case-series, Medicare Cardiac & General Hospital, Karachi- 2020-2021. All
patients (N=110) were selected from outpatient department (OPD) of the Jinnah Medical College Hospital (JMCH) and
Medicare Cardiac and General Hospital.
Methodology: Patients with nausea, abdominal pain, diarrhea and IgG positive were included, and ELISA was done for
detection of H. pylori infection.. IgG negative for H. pylori and having other gastrointestinal infections were excluded from
this study. Patients positive with infection were prescribed the initial triple /quadruple regimen (triple regimen therapy
including Proton pump inhibitor (PPI) 20 mg, Metronidazole 400mg, Amoxicillin 250 mg or Quadruple therapy by adding
Bismuth subsalicylate). In ten cases of relapse Sequential / Rescue therapy were continued after a gap of 6 weeks included
PPI 20 mg, metronidazole 400mg ciprofloxacin 200mg BD or Levofloxacin 400 mg OD. The qPCR was performed for
the detecting resistant to clarithromycin in patients with H. pylori IgG positive after therapy.
Result: During the follow-up, 60 (54%) cases were recovered from initial triple regimen, whereas 40(36%) cases recovered
quadruple therapy and remaining 10 (7%) had clarithromycin resistance and were prescribed sequential therapy replacing
clarithromycin by fluoroquinolones.
Conclusion: The study showed that majority of H. pylori infected patient in our population recovered from initial
triple/quadruple regimen. The alternate option with clarithromycin resistant was sequential and rescue therapy with high
eradication rate.
