Popis: Helicobacter pylori, as a causing agent of peptic ulcer in adults, is also encountered in children although in a lower incidence. Endoscopic biopsy studies of gastrointestinal mucosa in 110 children with clinical signs of peptic ulcer (continuous vomiting, chronic abdominal pain, hematemesis and melena) in Amir-Kabir Children's Hospital in Tehran showed positive helicobacter pylori findings in Giemsa or Hematoxylin-Eosin stained specimens. Doudenal ulcer with 81.1% was the most frequent lesions involved, the next more frequent lesions being gastric ulcer (805), dudenitis (75%) and gastritis (51.7%)
