Abstract

Background: Helicobacter pylori is a pathogenic bacteria found in the gastric mucosa of both children and adults. Our goal was to use an endoscopic method to look at the prevalence of H. pylori in children with gastrointestinal complaints. Methods: This cross-sectional research was conducted in 2022 on pediatric patients who received gastric or duodenal biopsies by endoscopy. We collected data from medical reports regarding patients' age, gender, location of residence, type of gastrointestinal problems, and frequency of H. pylori infection. Results: A total of 2030 pediatric patients participated in the study. Helicobacter pylori infection was found in 259 cases (12.76%). There were no significant differences between the two genders regarding the prevalence of H. pylori infection (P = 0.094). This infection was more common in patients aged > 10 years (P < 0.001) and in residents of the Isfahan suburb (P < 0.001). Conclusions: In comparison to other locations, we found a similar incidence rate of H. pylori infection in children. According to our findings, greater ages are associated with a higher detection rate of H. pylori infection.

幽门螺杆菌感染在中东国家流行吗？

背景:幽门螺杆菌是一种存在于儿童和成人胃粘膜的致病菌。我们的目的是使用内窥镜方法来观察幽门螺杆菌在胃肠道疾病儿童中的患病率。方法:本横断面研究于2022年对接受胃镜或十二指肠活检的儿科患者进行。我们收集了有关患者年龄、性别、居住地、胃肠道问题类型和幽门螺旋杆菌感染频率的医疗报告数据。结果:共有2030名儿科患者参与了本研究。幽门螺杆菌感染259例(12.76%)。两性幽门螺杆菌感染率差异无统计学意义(P = 0.094)。这种感染在bb10岁的患者(P < 0.001)和伊斯法罕郊区的居民中更为常见(P < 0.001)。结论:与其他地区相比，我们发现儿童幽门螺杆菌感染率相似。根据我们的研究结果，年龄越大，幽门螺杆菌感染的检出率越高。
