Prevalence of clarithromycin-resistant Helicobacter pylori in children living in South of Sweden: a 12-year follow-up.

Conclusions: More than one in every ten (12%) children investigated with upper endoscopy in the southernmost parts of Sweden were gastric HP-DNA positive of which 21% were crHP regardless of indication for investigation. Clarithromycin is therefore not recommended as first line empirical treatment for eradicating an HP infection in children. PMID: 31305189 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
