Clinical experience with Campylobacter pylori in western Kentucky.

Many studies have been done which show the association of Campylobacter pylori with active gastritis. All types of peptic ulcer disease have shown a positive correlation with the presence of Campylobacter pylori. Clearance of this specific infection has shown histologic improvement as well as decreasing recurrence of peptic ulcer disease. This study demonstrates with statistical validity that treatment with both antibiotics and Bismuth subsalicylate results in improvement in symptoms for as long as five months.
