Abstract

Background/aims: Data concerning peptic and infectious ulcers in children are limited. The aim of the study was to investigate the prevalence, presenting symptoms and significance of symptomatology in ulcer diagnosis in the pediatric age group. Materials and Methods: Between January 2000 and 2009, upper gastrointestinal endoscopy charts were examined retrospectively. All children in whom a diagnosis of ulcer was established were included in the study. Demographic, clinical, endoscopic, and histopathologic data were obtained from the patients records. Peptic ulcer disease prevalence, presenting symptoms and symptomatology were evaluated. Results: Ulcer disease was observed in 31 (3.4%) of 902 patients. The mean age was 10.85±4.25 (range: 2-17 years), and the male to female ratio was 2:1. The most common symptom was chronic abdominal pain (68%), hematemesis and melena (55%) and vomiting (39%). Helicobacter pylori was identified in 19 patients (61%) with ulcer. In the Helicobacter pylori-positive group, upper intestinal bleeding and pain were the major symptoms. Symptom frequency was not different between Helicobacter pylori- positive and -negative patients (p>0.05). Conclusions: Ulcer disease is an uncommon disorder in children with nonspecific clinical symptoms. Unlike the adult population, symptoms fail to diagnose peptic ulcer disease before gastrointestinal bleeding occurs.

Özet

Giriş ve Amaç: Çocukluk yaş grubunda peptik ve enfeksiyöz ülserlerle ilişkili bilgiler yetersizdir. Bu sebeple, çocuk hastalarda peptik ülser hastalığının sıklığı, semptomları ve bu semptomların ülser tanısını öngörmedeki değerinin araştırılması amaçlanmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntem: Ocak 2000 2009 yılları arasında Ege Üniversitesi Tıp Fakültesi, Pediatrik Gastroenteroloji, Hepatoloji ve Beslenme Bilim Dalında uygulanan üst gastrointestinal sistem endoskopi raporları retrospektif olarak değerlendirilmiştir. Endoskopi ile peptik ülser hastalığı tanısı alan tüm çocuklar çalışmaya dahil edilmiştir. Olguların demografik, klinik, endoskopik ve histolojik özellikleri hasta dosyalarından elde edilmiştir. Üst gastrointestinal sistem yakınmaları nedeniyle endoskopi yapılan çocuklarda peptik ülser hastalığı sıklığı, başvuru yakınmaları ve semptomların peptik ülser hastalığı ile ilişkisi irdelenmiştir. Bulgular: Peptik ülser hastalığı, üst gastrointestinal sistem yakınmaları ile endoskopi yapılan 902 hastanın 31inde (3,4%) saptandı. Ortalama yaş 10,85±4,25 yıl (2 17 yıl), erkek çocukların kızlara oranı 2,1 bulundu. En sık izlenen yakınmalar sırasıyla, kronik karın ağrısı (68%), hematemez ve/veya melena (55%) ve kusma (39%) olarak izlendi. Helikobakter pilori 19 (61%) peptik ülser hastalığı olan olguda saptandı. Helikobakter pilori-pozitif grupta üst gastrointestinal sistem kanama ve ağrı temel semptomlardı. Helikobakter pilori-pozitif ve negatif ülserli hastalar arasında yakınmalar arasında fark saptanmadı (p>0.05). Sonuç: Peptik ülser hastalığı çocukluk yaş grubunda nadir rastlanır ve nonspesifik bulgularla seyretmektedir. Erişkin olguların aksine, çocuklarda klinik semptomlar gastrointestinal sistem kanaması ortaya çıkmadan önce peptik ülser hastalığını öngörmede yetersiz kalmaktadır.
