Abstract

Objective: Triple therapy is the preferred regimen for H. pylori eradication in children. Levofloxacin included regimens are one of the treatment choices for adult patients in whom the first line triple therapy has failed.However, limited data is available for children. Methods: This is a prospective, open-label, follow-up study to evaluate the efficacy of different therapeutic regimen for H. pylori infected children. The primary end point was to determine the rate of treatment failure of H. pylori infected children with first (ACL; amoxicillin, lansoprozole, clarithromycin) and second (MDBL; metranidazole, doxycycline, bismuth subcitrate, lansoprozole) line therapy regimens. The secondary end point was to evaluate the eradication rate and safety of levofloxacin based regimen (LML, including levofloxacin, metronidazole, lansoprozole) in H. pylori infected children who were non-responders to first or second line regimens. Results: 61 symptomatic children who were infected with H. pylori were treated with ACL protocol and 36 (59%) were cured. Fifteen (60%) of the remaining 25 patients were cured with MDBL protocol. All the remaining patients in whom therapy had failed (n=10) were successfully treated with a third line therapy of LML protocol. No side effects were observed during treatment and follow up period. Conclusion: Levofloxacin based triple therapy seems safe and effective as a third line rescue therapy in H. pylori infected children who failed to respond to triple or quadruple therapies. Further larger randomized controlled trials are needed to test the potential clinical efficacy and also safety of levofloxacin based regimens in H. pylori infected children.

Özet

Amaç: Çocuklarda Helicobacter pylori eradikasyon tedavisinde üçlü ilaç tedavisi tercih edilmektedir. İlk basamak tedavilere yanıt vermeyen erişkin hastalarda levofloksasin içeren kombinasyon tedavi seçeneği olarak kullanılabilmektedir ancak çocuklarda bu konu ile ilgili yeterli bilgi bulunmamaktadır Yöntemler: Prospektif, açık-etiketli, izlem çalışmasında H. pylori infeksiyonu olan semptomatik çocuklarda farklı tedavi protokollerinin değerlendirilmesi planlandı. Çalışmanın birinci amacı birinci (ACL; amoksisilin, lansoprazol, klaritromisin) ve ikinci (MDBL; metranidazol, doksisiklin, bizmut sitrat, lansoprazol) basamak eradikasyon tedavilerinin etkinliğinin değerlendirilmesi idi. Birinci ve ikinci basamak tedaviye yanıt alınamayan olgularda levofloksasin içeren tedavi protokolünün (LML, levofloksasin, metronidazol, lansoprazol) etkinliği ve yan etki profilinin değerlendirilmesi planlandı. Bulgular: H. pylori ile enfekte olan 61 semptomatik çocuğa ACL protokolü verildi ve olguların 36’sında (%59) eradikasyon sağlandı. Yanıt alınamayan 25 olgudan 15’inde (%60) MDBL protokolü ile eradikasyon sağlandı. İlk iki basamak tedavi ile yanıt alınamayan 10 olgunun tamamı levofloksasin içeren LML kombinasyonu ile başarı ile tedavi edildi. Tedavi süreci ve takip dönemimde herhangi bir yan etki gözlenmedi. Sonuç: Levofloksasin içeren üçlü tedavi birinci ve ikinci basamak tedavilere yanıt alınamayan H. pylori ile enfekte çocuklarda etkin ve güvenilir bir tedavi seçeneği olarak görülmektedir. Ancak çocuklarda levofloksasin içeren protokolün etkinliği ve güvenirliği ile ilgili daha geniş çalışmalara gereksinim duyulmaktadır.
