Abstract
PURPOSE: Silent gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) coexists with and worsens asthma by multiple mechanisms. Role of H. pylori in GERD is controversial. A recent report suggests that eradication of H. pylori reduces recurrence rates of GERD. Serologic and case control studies have shown that H. pylori infection may be associated with development of chronic bronchitis. The aim of this study was to study the effect of treatment for H. pylori in moderate persistent asthma.
