Prospective study of the incidence of diarrheal disease and Helicobacter pylori infection among children in an orphanage in Thailand. Am J Trop Med Hyg 1998; 59:796-800. The high prevalence of H. pylori among children in developing countries and the association with hypochlorhydria have suggested that this infection may predispose to acute or persistant diarrheal disease. In this prospective study conducted in 160 children aged less than 5 years from an orphanage in Thailand, the incidence of diarrhea was not significantly different between children by H. pylori serostatus.

Scand J Gastroenterol 1998; 33:1135-1139. Anti-H. pylori IgG titre was found to be significantly higher in allergic patients than in children with atopic asthma of inflammatory bowel disease. The anti-CagA IgG titre did not differ between the patients.

Unexplained refractory iron-deficiency anemia associated with Helicobacter pylori gastric infection in children: further clinical evidence. J Pediatr Gastroenterol Nutr 1999; 28:116-119. Four cases of children presenting unexplained refractory iron deficiency are reported. Although the pathogenic mechanism is still unknown, reversion of anaemia after H. pylori eradication demonstrates a causal role of H. pylori in the pathogenesis of the anaemia.

38. Goggin N, Rowland M, Imrie C, Walsh D, Clyne M, Drumm B. Effect of Helicobacter pylori eradication on the natural history of duodenal ulcer disease. Arch Dis Child 1998; 79:502-505. Studies in adults suggested that eradication of H. pylori from the gastric mucosa is associated with long term healing of duodenal ulcer. Studies of duodenal ulcer disease in children are difficult to perform because of the low prevalence of the condition in this age group. Duodenal ulcer healed in 15 children after eradication of H. pylori, and all the children remained asymptomatic for a median of 37 months.

Ulcer healing was observed in 24 out of 25 children eradicated from Helicobacter pylori infection. During a mean follow-up of 2 years, the annual relapse rate was estimated to be 9%.
