Change of Helicobacter pylori prevalence in a decade among children undergoing endoscopy

摘要

Our aim was to investigate the trend of H. pylori infection among children during the last decade by a retrospective analysis. Reports of children in whom esophago-gastroduodenoscopy was performed at our institution during two periods 2002-2003 and 2012-2013 were seperated into Group I and Group II, respectively. Pathology reports were investigated for gastritis, atrophy and H. pylori presence.
