Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the effectiveness and safety of various antibiotic therapies for eradicating Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection in children, focusing on options like triple, sequential, hybrid, concomitant, and ciprofloxacin-based therapies.
- A randomized trial involving 200 children (ages 3-16) revealed that ciprofloxacin-based triple therapy achieved the highest eradication rate at 90%, compared to lower rates for other therapies, with no significant difference in adverse effects.
- The conclusion highlights that ciprofloxacin-based triple therapy is the most effective and safe option for treating H. pylori infection in children, while the other treatment options do not significantly outperform traditional triple therapy.*
