The diagnosis of Helicobacter pylori infection continues to challenge practicing physicians around the world. In the last year, several reports from Africa tried to examine the epidemiology of H. pylori infection in nursing babies, while others investigated the association between recurrent abdominal pain symptoms and H. pylori. In the diagnostic arena, attempts were made to improve diagnostic accuracy, mainly by using a new monoclonal version of the stool antigen test, and by applying the urea breath test in smaller children. In the current report, the most important studies on H. pylori infection in children published in the last year are also reviewed.
幽门螺杆菌感染的诊断仍然困扰着世界各地的执业医生。去年，非洲的几份报告试图研究护理婴儿中幽门螺杆菌感染的流行病学，而其他报告则调查了反复出现腹痛症状与幽门螺杆菌之间的关联。在诊断领域，人们主要通过使用新型单克隆粪便抗原检测以及在较小儿童中应用尿素呼气试验来提高诊断准确性。在本报告中，还对去年发表的关于儿童幽门螺杆菌感染的最重要研究进行了综述。
