  • Abstract

    Background

    Refractory helicobacter pylori (Hp) is a challenging problem for pediatric population. Whether Hp culture and CYP2C19 genotype need to be done together still remains contraversial.

    Aims

    To explore the efficiency of tailored eradication therapy based on helicobacter pylori culture, susceptibility and CYP2C19 genotype in children who failed to empirical Hp eradication strategy in Baoding region(China).

    Methods

    This study is an observational cohort study. A total of 156 children with Hp infection who failed to amoxicillin + clarithromycin +omeprazole triple regimen in Baoding Children’s Hospital were selected as study subjects, and 92 of them underwent Hp culture and CYP2C19 genetic testing. 75 cases with successful Hp culture were defined as successful culture group and were treated according to antibiotics sensitivity and genotype results. 17 cases with failed culture were defined as culture failure group and were treated only based on the results of CYP2C19 genotype. 64 children who did not agree to perform Hp culture and CYP2C19 gene testing were defined as the empirical eradication therapy group and were treated with quadruple therapy (amoxicillin + metronidazole + omeprazole + bismuth). Antibiotics resistance, CYP2C19 gene polymorphism and therapeutic efficiency between the three groups were compared and analyzed.

    Results

    Results of Hp culture and antibiotics susceptibility: among the 75 children with successful culture, 72 (96%) were resistant to clarithromycin, 3 (4%) were resistant to metronidazole, 5 (7%) were resistant to levofloxacin, 5 (7%) were resistant to rifampicin, 1 (1%) was resistant to tetracycline, and there was no resistance to amoxicillin and furazolidone. Results of CYP2C19 genotype test: among the 92 patients who underwent genotype test, 43 were Extensive Metabolizer (EM) (47%), 9 were Poor Metabolizer (PM) (10%), and 40 were Intermediate Metabolizer (IM) (44%). Efficiency results: eradication rate in the successful culture group, culture failure group and empirical eradication therapy group was 99% (74/75),88%(15/17) and 72%(46/64), respectively. The eradication rate of children in the culture failure group and the empirical eradication therapy group were both lower than that in the successful culture group,and there were no difference between empirical eradication therapy group and culture failure group(p=0.283).

    Conclusions

    Tailored treatment based on Hp culture + antibiotics susceptibility and CYP2C19 genotype detection should be performed in children with refractory Hp infection. Hp culture + antibiotics susceptibility plays a more important role than CYP2C19 genotype.
