Background: One of the greatest prevalent chronic illnesses, Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori), affects around 50% of people globally. Early infancy is when this virus is most often contracted, particularly in developing nations. The frequency of H. pylori varies greatly across nations; in underdeveloped nations, 50% of children are infected by the time they become 10 years old. The beginning of several Gastro intestinal tract pathologies, including active persistent gastritis, peptic ulcers, gastric carcinoma, extragastric symptoms, thrombocytopenic purpura, and anemia owing to inadequate iron reserves iron deficiency anemia (IDA), is discovered to be related with H. Pylori infections. A link between anemia and H. pylori infections is supported by a variety of data from epidemiological and clinical research.Objectives: To highlight connection between Helicobacter pylori infections and IDA in children, and to explore the mechanism of this association.
Conclusion:Infection with Helicobacter pylori is substantially linked with iron deficiency anemia in children.
