Summary
Helicobacter pylori is a bacterium estimated to colonize in the gastrointestinal tract of the
half population in the world. Colonization of this bacteria is suspected to be one of the
main risk factor for the occurrence of various abnormalities of the upper gastrointestinal
tract, such as peptic ulcer and gastrointestinal cancer. The Experts recommend giving triple
therapy regimens as first-line eradication therapy for Helicobacter pylori infection. The
recommended duration of triple therapy is 10-14 days. However, recent studies suggest triple
therapy with longer duration will provide a higher percentage of eradication. This study
wanted to show whether 14 days of triple therapy was better than 10 days in Helicobacter
pylori eradication.
