| Popis: | In children Helicobacter pylori infection is strikingly associated with peptic disease [1]. Family history of peptic disease, previous digestive procedures, and nonspecific epigastric pain are the most frequently encountered clinical features [2]. Isolated vomiting and more severe symptoms such as hematemesis are rarely described. At endoscopy antral nodularity, and gastric and duodenal ulcers are the typical lesions [2]. The infection is almost invariably associated with histologic evidence of chronic gastritis [2, 3]. Serum immune response against the bacterium with production of specific immunoglobulin G (IgG) and IgA is found in the majority of infected children [4, 5]. An increase in the level of serum pepsinogen I usually occurs [5]. |
