Abstract

Helicobacter pylori infection persists in a considerable proportion of patients after both first- and second-line current treatments. A standard therapy for re-treatment in such refractory patients is still lacking. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of a levofloxacin-amoxycillin combination in patients who previously failed two or more therapeutic attempts.
