Eradication Therapy in <i>Helicobacter pylori</i>-Positive Patients with Halitosis: Long-Term Outcome

Abstract

Eradication of H. pylori in patients with functional dyspepsia and halitosis results in sustained resolution of halitosis during long-term follow-up in the majority of cases. This finding supports the existence of a link between H. pylori infection and halitosis and suggests that H. pylori eradication might be considered in patients with halitosis.
