Helicobacter pylori eradication prevents recurrence after simple closure of perforated duodenal ulcer

Background and Aim:  Evidence remains inconclusive as to whether eradication of Helicobacter pylori prevents ulcer relapse after simple closure of a perforated duodenal ulcer. This study was conducted to determine the effect of H. pylori eradication using a quadruple drug regimen along with a probiotic on ulcer recurrence after perforation closure.
