The results of examination of 167 patients suffering from gastric and duodenal ulcers complicated by bleeding and perforation in a rehabilitation period are presented. High contamination by HP bacteria was established in gastroduodenal bleeding especially in duodenal ulcer (94.45%), as well as direct correlation between the contamination range and blood loss degree. The presence of HP infection during a control check-up examination suggests that the course of anti-ulcer therapy should last not less than 4-6 weeks. In treating patients suffering from ulcer bleeding conservative therapy is preferable. Stomach resection is considered as a method of choice. Lethality makes up 0.94 and 6.25%, respectively.
