Objective:
This study seeks to identify, through a survey, how Peruvian gastroenterologists deal with Helicobacter pylori infection.
Material And Methods:
Gastroenterologists answered a survey concerning diagnosis and treatment of Helicobacter pylori infection.
Results:
177 valid answers were obtained (29.6% of the population). Within the main results, 77.4% use endoscopy + biopsy (histology) for diagnosis, 95.5% choose proton pump inhibitor + clarithromycin + amoxicillin as first line treatment and 50.0% check for eradication 4-6 weeks after treatment.
Conclusions:
Most gastroenterologists in Peru deal adequately with Helicobacter pylori infection, although follow-up aspects could be improved.

Clinical manifestations of acute gastritis
The patient with acute gastritis may have a rapid onset of symptoms, such as epigastric pain or discomfort, dyspepsia, anorexia, hiccups, or nausea and vomiting, which can last from a few hours to a few days. Erosive or hemorrhagic gastritis may cause bleeding, which may manifest as blood in vomit or as...
