This investigation aimed to compare bacterial eradication and healing in patients with active duodenal ulcer treated with a combination of furazolidone 600 mg/day and metronidazole 750 mg/day and amoxicillin 1.5 and g/day for 5 (TT5) or 10 (TT10) days. Fifty four (TT5 = 28 and TT10 = 26) patients were included in the study. Ulcer healing was observed in 77.8% of TT5 Group and in 75% of TT10 Group at week 4. H pylori eradication was observed in 51.9% and 65% respectively (p > 0.05). When all patients were grouped, a significantly healing rate was observed in those eradicated as compared to those not eradicated (p = 0.03). We concluded that extending the treatment to 10 days did not significantly influence the results of ulcer healing and eradication of Helicobacter pylori.
