Helicobacter pylori infects approximately 50% of the world's population and is a definitive cause of gastroduodenal disease (ie, gastritis, duodenal and gastric ulcers) in children and adults. Four consensus conferences held around the globe have brought together clinicians, scientists, epidemiologists and health care economists to discuss the role of the gastric pathogen H pylori in human gastroduodenal disease. At each of these conferences, the overriding objective was to reach a consensus on the development of practical guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of H pylori-infected individuals. However, it was not until the Canadian H pylori Consensus Conference, held in November 1997, that the issues of H pylori infection in children were addressed. Therapies for H pylori infection in children, presented in part at the First Canadian Pediatric H pylori Consensus Conference, held in Victoria, British Columbia, November 1998, are reviewed in this paper.
幽门螺杆菌感染了全球约50%的人口，是儿童和成人胃十二指肠疾病（即胃炎、十二指肠溃疡和胃溃疡）的明确病因。全球范围内召开的四次共识会议汇聚了临床医生、科学家、流行病学家和医疗保健经济学家，共同探讨胃病原体幽门螺杆菌在人类胃十二指肠疾病中的作用。在每次会议上，首要目标都是就制定幽门螺杆菌感染个体的诊断和治疗实用指南达成共识。然而，直到1997年11月召开的加拿大幽门螺杆菌共识会议，才开始讨论儿童幽门螺杆菌感染问题。本文回顾了1998年11月在不列颠哥伦比亚省维多利亚市召开的首届加拿大儿科学会幽门螺杆菌共识会议上部分提出的儿童幽门螺杆菌感染治疗方法。
