Abstract: Managing refractory Helicobacter pylori infection is an important step in the prevention of recurrent ulcer disease and to reduce the risk of gastric adenocarcinoma development. When the initial treatment fails, it is likely due to either pre-existing antimicrobial resistance (especially likely if the regimen included clarithromycin or levofloxacin) or suboptimal therapeutic adherence. The latter is important to probe via careful history taking, since without adequate patient and physician understanding of the issue, repeat failure is likely.
