Background: The revised ESPGHAN/NASPGHAN 2016 guideline on the diagnosis and management of Helicobacter pylori (H pylori) infection discourages a ''test and treat'' strategy. Instead, upper endoscopy (EGD) is recommended when a valid clinical indication is present. Likewise, new treatment recommendations for first-line therapies strongly encourage obtaining antimicrobial susceptibility before treatment. We conducted this study to assess the effect of revised guidelines on clinical practice at our center. Methods: Retrospective chart review of patients with H pylori infection diagnosis either by serology, stool antigen test, urea breath test, or EGD at
Ileocolonoscopy may miss SB CD in pediatric patients that is due to isolated histologic, intramural, or proximal inflammation. Enterography is complementary to ileocolonoscopy in the evaluation of pediatric CD.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
