Treating Stubborn H. pylori with Tailored Bismuth Quadruple Therapy
Treatments studied
Part of Digestive system, Infections clinical trials.
This study tests whether a 14-day treatment with bismuth and four drugs, chosen based on lab tests showing which antibiotics still work, can clear an extremely stubborn H. pylori infection that hasn't gone away after at least two prior treatments.
