H.pylori infection status in gastroduodenal ulcer patients and primary evaluations of bacterial antibiotic sensibility at Can Tho General Hospital

ABSTRACT

Study on 100 gastroduodenal ulcer patients treated at Can Tho General Hospital between March and December 2001. Results: the prevalence of gastric ulcer was high (58%), followed by duodenal ulcer (39%) and the prevalence of gastroduodenal ulcer was low (3%). The rate of H.pylori positive was 66.66% in duodenal ulcer patients, 55.17% in gastric ulcer patients. The rate of H.pylori infection was 33.33% in gastroduodenal ulcer patients. H.pylori was still sensitive with amoxicillin (97.29%), tetracycline (94.6%), clarythromycine and erythromycin (72.97%), but was highly resistant with metronidazole (91%).
