Izvleček | Helicobacter pylori (HP) povzroča pri otrocih, mladostnikih in odraslih, kronični gastritis. Specifičnih simptomov, ki bi kazali na okužbo s HP ni. Peptični ulkus je pri otrocih zelo redek, karcinom želodca pa je prava izjema. Kljub termu okužbo s HP v otroštvu vse pogosteje omenjajo kot pomemben dejavnik v nastanku atrofičnega gastritisa, intestinalne metaplazije in karcinoma želodca v odrasli dobi. Namen prispevka je prikazati specifičnost diagnostike in terapije okužbe s HP pri otrocih in mladostnikih glede na trenutna stališča Evropskega in Ameriškega združenja za pediatrično gastroenterologijo, hepatologijo in prehrano. | |
