Background/Aims Relapse of Helicobacter pylori (Hp) infection is a serious problem in high prevalent regions. We aimed to determine the relapse rate of Hp infection in patients with symptoms renewing after successful eradication. Methods Successfully treated patients with first line [proton pump inhibitors (PPI)+amoxicillin+clarithromycin] or second line (PPI+Bismuth compound+metronidazole+ tetracycline) eradication regimens were enrolled into this study between 2006-2010 years. All patients received eradication 14 days and successful eradication confirmed by C-14 breath test. Patients with symptoms renewing during the follow-up period were evaluated for relapse of Hp infection by gastroscopy, histological examination and C-14 breath test. Results: Hp positive 1642 patients were treated by first and second line eradication therapy. Successful eradication rate was 89%. During the follow-up period 238/1642 patients (14.5%) of these were admitted to out-patient clinics complaining with dyspepsia and Hp infection was detected by gastroscopy/histology and breath test. Relapse rate was statistically high in third year (62%, 60%) after the treatment as comparing with first (10%, 8%) and second year (16%, 14%) (p<0.05) gastroscopy/histology and breath test control, respectively. Conclusions: Hp relapse rate was significantly higher in third year of eradication in patients with symptoms renewing.

Giriş/Amaç Helikobakter pilori (Hp) nüksü, prevalansın yüksek olduğu bölgelerde önemli bir problemdir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, başarılı eradikasyon tedavisi sonrasında semptomatik hastalarda Hp nüks oranını saptamaktır. Yöntem ve Gereç Çalışmaya, 2006-2010 yılları arasında 1. basamak [proton pompa inhibitörü (PPI)+amoksisilin+klaritromisin] veya 2. basamak (PPI+Bizmut bileşikleri+metronidazol+ tetrasiklin) eradikasyon rejimleri kullanan hastalar dahil edildi. Takip döneminde semptomatik olan hastalar, Hp infeksiyonu açısından gastroskopi, histopatolojik inceleme ve C-14 nefes testi ile değerlendirildiler. Bulgular Hp pozitif 1642 hasta 1. veya 2. basamak tedavi rejimi kullandı. Hastaların %89’unda başarılı eradikasyon sağlandı. Takip döneminde 238/1642 hasta (%14.5) hasta dispeptik yakınmalar ile polikliniğe başvurdu. Nüks oranı 3. yılda (%62, %60), tedavi sonrası 1. yıl (10%, 8%) ve 2. yıla (16%, 14%) göre sırasıyla gastroskopi/histoloji ve nefes testi ile kontrollerde anlamlı olarak yüksekti (p<0.05). Sonuç Hp eradikasyonundan sonra takipte semptomatik olan hastalarda 3. yılda nüks oranı anlamlı olarak yüksektir.
