[Helicobacter pylori infection in patients with functional dyspepsia, eradication rates in the Donetsk region].

We have investigated 175 patients with Rome III diagnostic criteria for functional dyspepsia. 104 (59%) patients were infected with Helicobacter pylori. Three-component (PPI + clarithromycin + amoxicillin) 7-day therapy with the addition of the probiotic was effective in 92 patients (88.4%). Dyspeptic symptoms were resolved in 37 patients with successful eradication (40%). Persistent effect for 6 months was maintained in 24 patients (26%). Eradication efficacy in eliminating of the dyspepsia symptoms was higher in epigastric pain syndrome than postprandial distress syndrome.
