infection is a global public health problem associated with some gastrointestinal diseases in children, especially in developing countries, since prevalence of is low in the developed world. Both noninvasive (stool antigen test, urea breath test, and blood test) and invasive (histology, rapid urease test, and microbiological culture) tests have been utilized to detect infection. However, a single test is not reliable enough and does not provide accurate enough data to determine infection among children. Risk factors of infection in children were related to ethnicities, household properties, geographic location, living conditions, water sources, type of housing, presence/absence of sewage systems, and garbage collection within the living environment. These risk factors were usually associated with the socioeconomic status of the family. This review article aims to determine the gaps in the knowledge of the epidemiology, risk factors, and diagnostic tests of infection among children. Ozbey G, Hanafiah A.

感染是一个与儿童某些胃肠道疾病相关的全球公共卫生问题，尤其是在发展中国家，因为在发达国家其患病率较低。非侵入性检测（粪便抗原检测、尿素呼气试验和血液检测）和侵入性检测（组织学检查、快速尿素酶试验和微生物培养）都已被用于检测感染。然而，单一检测不够可靠，无法提供足够准确的数据来确定儿童是否感染。儿童感染的风险因素与种族、家庭财产、地理位置、生活条件、水源、住房类型、居住环境中有无污水系统以及垃圾收集情况有关。这些风险因素通常与家庭的社会经济地位相关。这篇综述文章旨在确定儿童感染的流行病学、风险因素和诊断检测方面的知识差距。奥兹贝伊·G，哈纳菲亚·A。儿童感染的流行病学、诊断及风险因素。《欧亚肝脏胃肠病学杂志》2017年；7(1):34 - 39。
