Several reports indicate that Helicobacter pylori plays a role in recurrent abdominal pain in children and adolescents. The aim of our study is to determine the prevalence of H. pylori among Verona children with and without recurrent abdominal pain. 309 patients were tested for the presence of anti-H. pylori IgG in a blood sample. Among 43 children with recurrent abdominal pain, the prevalence of H. pylori infection was 25.58%, while the prevalence of H. pylori infection in children without abdominal symptoms was 4.88%. Sensitivity and specificity of serology were respectively 81.8% and 87.5%. We conclude that endoscopic examination cannot be replaced by serological test.
几份报告表明，幽门螺杆菌在儿童和青少年反复腹痛中起作用。我们研究的目的是确定维罗纳有或没有反复腹痛的儿童中幽门螺杆菌的患病率。对309名患者的血样进行了抗幽门螺杆菌IgG检测。在43名反复腹痛的儿童中，幽门螺杆菌感染率为25.58%，而无腹部症状儿童的幽门螺杆菌感染率为4.88%。血清学的敏感性和特异性分别为81.8%和87.5%。我们得出结论，内镜检查不能被血清学检测所取代。
