Abstract

Purpose: Helicobacter pylori (HP) is one of the most common bacterial infections in humans. The purpose of this study is to investigate the seroprevalence of HP infection in the pediatric population who applied to pediatrics outpatient clinic of Erciyes University and its relationship with different variables.Patients and Methods: Two hundred and twenty-one children (124 male, 97 female, age range: 8 months to 16 years) were tested for anti-HP antibody Ig G. A questionnaire about the socioeconomic status and some living practices were completed by the family Results: Of the 221 children, 129 (%58.4) were seropositive for HP. The seroprevalence of HP increased significantly with age and eating from the same plate. There was no correlation between HP seropositivity and other parameters. Conclusion: The rate of seropositivity of HP in children applied to Erciyes University is similar to other regions in Turkey.

Özet

Amaç: Helikobakter pilori (HP) insanlarda sık görülen enfeksiyonlardan biridir. Bu çalışmanın amacı Erciyes Üniversitesi Tıp Fakültesi Hastanesi Çoçuk Polikliniğine başvuran sağlıklı çocuklarda HP enfeksiyonu seroprevalansını ve bunu etkilemesi muhtemel parametreleri araştırmaktır.Hastalar ve Yöntem: Bu amaçla 124’ü erkek, 97’si kız, yaşları sekiz ay ile 16 yıl arasında değişen 221 çocukta kanda anti-HP Ig G antikorları çalışıldı. Her çocukta kardeş sayısı, aynı kaptan yemek yeme, içme suyu kaynağı, evde hayvan besleme, ailenin gelir düzeyi ve ailede ülser hikayesi sorularak kaydedildi.Bulgular: Tüm çocukların 129’u (%58,4) HP için seropozitifdi. HP seroprevalansı yaşla birlikte önemli artış gösteriyordu. Çalışılan parametrelerden sadece aynı kaptan yemek yeme ile HP seroprevalansı arasında anlamlı ilişki bulundu. Diğer değişkenlerin etkisi saptanmadı. Sonuç: Erciyes Üniversitesine başvuran çocuklarda HP seropozitifliği ülkemizin başka yörelerine benzer sıklık ve dağılım özellikleri göstermektedir.
