A total of 97 children aged 1 month to 16 years (mean 6.6 years) had upper endoscopies performed in Paediatric Institute, Kuala Lumpur Hospital between January 1997 and December 1999 for various gastrointestinal symptoms. Of these 70 children were tested for Helicobacter pylori. The four most common indications for upper endoscopy were recurrent abdominal pain, upper gastrointestinal bleeding, epigastric pain and vomiting. The overall prevalence of this infection in this heterogenous group of symptomatic children was 10% (7/70). This study shows that H.pylori positivity in a routine endoscopy population is low and does not appear to be associated with specific symptoms.
1997年1月至1999年12月期间，共有97名年龄在1个月至16岁（平均6.6岁）的儿童因各种胃肠道症状在吉隆坡医院儿科研究所接受了上消化道内镜检查。其中70名儿童接受了幽门螺杆菌检测。上消化道内镜检查最常见的四个指征是反复腹痛、上消化道出血、上腹部疼痛和呕吐。在这群有症状的异质性儿童中，这种感染的总体患病率为10%（7/70）。这项研究表明，在常规内镜检查人群中幽门螺杆菌阳性率较低，且似乎与特定症状无关。
