Helicobacter pylori infection has declined over recent decades. However, its prevalence remains high, and nearly 50% of the global population has been infected. In Korea, seroprevalence has steadily decreased in adults, but the status of H. pylori infection in children is unknown. The current status or trend of H. pylori infection in children is important because it can help estimate H. pylori-related diseases including gastric cancer in later life. In this review, the authors discuss the change in H. pylori infection rate among children and adolescents based on literature reviews and our research.
近几十年来,幽门螺杆菌感染率有所下降。然而,其流行率仍然很高,全球近50%的人口已被感染。在韩国,成年人的血清流行率稳步下降,但儿童幽门螺杆菌感染状况尚不清楚。儿童幽门螺杆菌感染的现状或趋势很重要,因为它有助于估计日后与幽门螺杆菌相关的疾病,包括胃癌。在这篇综述中,作者根据文献综述和我们的研究,讨论了儿童和青少年幽门螺杆菌感染率的变化。
