Abstract
Numerous reports have established the association of Helicobacter pylori and peptic ulcer disease in adults. Recently, this association has also been demonstrated in children. We investigated 14 children and adolescents with recurrent abdominal pain. In six patients, endoscopy revealed gastritis and Helicobacter pylori was identified. Giemsa stain was more sensitive than culture or urease testing in identifying the bacteria. In four of the six, a nodular appearance of the antral mucosa was observed. The histological examination suggests lymphoid hyperplasia as the cause of the nodularity. All of the patients became symptomless after combined treatment with amoxicillin and bismuth subsalicylate. We conclude that nodular gastritis is a peculiar type of gastritis in chldren. It is frequently found in association with Helicobacter pylori infection.This publication has 9 references indexed in Scilit:
