Background/aims: H. pylori eradication therapy has been widely performed. In addition, the number of patients with type 2 diabetes is increasing worldwide. The aim of this study was to understand the influence of H. pylori eradication therapy on the management of type 2 diabetes.
Methodology: A total of 174 patients with type 2 diabetes who did not have an active peptic ulcer or serious complications and were cured successfully of their H. pylori infection at our institute were included in this study. The time course of mean glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) values and body mass index (BMI) during the year before and after H. pylori eradication were assessed by a paired Student's t-test.
Results: No significant changes in mean HbA1c values were observed during the year before or after eradication. However, the mean BMI, which did not change during the year before eradication, increased significantly at 6 months (23.1±2.6kg/m2, p<0.05) and 12 months (23.1±2.7kg/m2, p<0.05) after eradication as compared with the time point of eradication (22.9±2.6kg/m2).
Conclusions: H. pylori eradication significantly increased BMI but not HbA1c in patients with type 2 diabetes, despite diabetes treatment.

This case report aims to demonstrate a rare occurrence of tendon rupture attributable to levofloxacin use in Helicobacter pylori eradication. On the seventh day of treatment, the patient experienced severe foot pain and difficulty in walking, leading to a diagnosis of Achilles tendon rupture confirmed through magnetic resonance imaging. Levofloxacin-induced tendinopathy and/or rupture are rare complications that are often linked to age and sex.

Background And Aim: Although standard triple therapy remains the first-line eradication treatment for H. pylori worldwide, it is unclear whether metronidazole should be included empirically in second-line eradication treatments. The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy of metronidazole-containing regimens with that of metronidazole-free regimens after failure of first-line eradication using standard triple therapy.

Introduction: () is becoming more resistant to antibiotics, and the implementation of individualized therapy is highly valuable for its eradication. This study aimed to investigate the efficacy and safety of individualized treatment guided by antibiotic susceptibility testing (AST) with a 10-day or 14-day course for the eradication of .
Methods: This was a prospective, open-label, single-center, quasi-randomized trial in which 220 participants were randomized into groups based on AST results as AST-10-day ( = 98) and AST-14-day ( = 112) treatment groups.
