[Diagnosis and treatment of Helicobacter infections in patients with stomach ulcer associated with hemorrhage].

Diagnosis and treatment of stomach ulcer associated with helicoid-bacterial infection and with hemorrhage are discussed in the paper. The many-year observations show that the risk of relapsing hemorrhage is high in patients with the above diagnosis. Eradication of the causative agent by using the modern therapeutic schemes cuts significantly the rate of such relapses. The most effective method of monitoring the infection and eradication results is suggested, i.e. urease test combined with microbiological diagnosis involving the method of polymerase chain reaction.
