“…It could be considered as an indirect indicator of the socioeconomic status of the region. Yan et al [14] analyzed the correlation between H. pylori recurrence rate and socioeconomic development [as represented by Human Development Index (HDI)], using data from 77 studies, which were considered reliable. Countries with very high HDI had a mean annual rate of 1.68%, which was significantly lower than that of high HDI countries at …”

“…However, some additions and clarifications should be performed to improve the manuscript. 6.05%, medium HDI countries at 7.04%, and low HDI countries at 9.63% (global annual rate being 2.82%) [14] . Lithuania is placed in the very high HDI category.…”

“…The confirmation of eradication must be performed not earlier than 6 mo after eradication treatment. It has been reported that in highly developed countries reinfection is rare and may account no more than 1.68% of cases [14] . In contrast, in developing areas the reinfection rate could be much higher and has been reported to reach 9.63% [14] .…”

“…At this time H. pylori was tested by RUT and histology if patients agreed to undergo endoscopy. If endoscopy was refused, H. pylori was tested by the 14 C-urea breath test (UBT) "Heliprobe" [18,[24][25][26] and serology (the quantitative test "SureScreen Diagnostics…”

AIM:To evaluate the frequency of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori ) reinfection in peptic ulcer patients during 9 years after H. pylori eradication. METHODS:We invited 117 peptic ulcer patients in whom eradication of H. pylori was confirmed 1 year after eradication treatment both by histology and by rapid urease test. In total, 57 patients were available for the study procedures: 34 (59.6%) male, 23 (40.4%) female; mean age 52.3 ± 13.0 years. There were 45 (78.9%) patients with duodenal ulcer and 12 (21.1%) with gastric ulcer. H. pylori was diagnosed by a rapid urease test and histology if endoscopy was performed.If endoscopy was refused, H. pylori was diagnosed by the C14-urea breath test and serology. H. pylori was established if at least one of the tests was positive. RESULTS:The mean follow-up was 8.9 ± 1.0 years (range, 6-12
