Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study aimed at comparing the efficacy of nitazoxanide-based triple therapy versus standard triple therapy for eradication of Helicobacter pylori infection in children at a tertiary care hospital.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The findings could guide clinical practice and influence guidelines, improving the management of H. pylori infections in the pediatric population. Not much local data also exists comparing the effectiveness of adding nitazoxanide to the standard triple therapy in children with H. pylori infection. If nitazoxanide-based therapy proves superior, it could reduce the incidence of antibiotic resistance associated with standard triple therapy.
