Summary: | Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection is still one of the most common chronic bacterial infections that impacts human health. Great achievements have been made in the treatment of H. pylorinfection since the publication of clinical guidelines of American College of Gastroenterology (ACG) in 2007. H. pylori infection is often acquired in childhood, with unclear infectious pathways. High-risk infection factors include low social and economic status, more brothers and sisters, and parents with H. pylori infection (especially mothers involved). Before this guideline was compiled, a seminar on H. pylori infection related PICO was conducted, and methodologies in McMaster University were cooperated to collect high-quality literatures. This paper mainly interpreted the indications, treatment and rescue therapies for patients with H. pylori infection briefly, so as to provide the latest and the most optimal therapeutic regimens for clinical treatment of H. pylori infection.
