“…101 Excellent results have been observed in our population, for children aged less than 6 years (sensitivity of 88.0% and specificity of 95.0%) and for older children as well (sensitivity of 100% and specificity of 98.0%). 102 The carbon 13-labeled urea breath test is currently regarded as the method of choice to assess therapeutic response in adults and in children.…”

Objective: To show important aspects of gastroduodenal peptic ulcer and of Helicobacter pylori infection in children and adolescents. Sources: Technical textbooks and MEDLINE and LILACS databases including publications between 1966 and 2006.Summary of the findings: The etiology of peptic ulcer in children and adolescents may be primary, associated with H. pylori infection, or secondary, in which etiopathogenic mechanisms rely upon the underlying disease. The infection is acquired predominantly in childhood, with prevalence rates between 56.8 and 83.1% in children who live in the poorest Brazilian regions, amounting to nearly 10% in children aged less than 10 years in industrialized countries. The infection can be diagnosed by invasive methods, which investigate the presence of the bacterium, or of DNA, RNA or bacterial products in biopsy fragments of the gastric mucosa obtained at endoscopic examination; it can also be diagnosed through noninvasive methods, which include the detection of anti-H. pylori antibodies in serum, urine or saliva samples, detection of bacterial antigens in stool samples, and the carbon 13-labeled urea breath test. However, upper gastrointestinal endoscopy is the method of choice for the diagnosis of peptic ulcer, as it allows collecting fragments from the gastric mucosa during the procedure for the diagnosis of infection and for histopathological analysis.Conclusions: H. pylori infection is the major cause of peptic ulcer among children. Eradication of the bacterium with antimicrobial therapy results in the cure of the disease, and is therefore indicated for all children with H. pylori infection with an active, recurrent, healed, or complicated peptic ulcer.

-Background -Helicobacter pylori infection is the gram negative bacillus with the close association with chronic antral gastritis. Objective -In this study, we evaluate the accuracy of urea breath test (UBT) with carbon isotope 13 in comparison with histopathology of gastric antrum for detection of H. pylori infection in children with dyspepsia. Methods -This cross-sectional study was performed at specialized laboratory of Shiraz Gastroenterohepatology Research Center and Nemazee Hospital, Iran, during a 12-months period. This study investigated the sensitivity, specificity, and positive and negative predictive values of UBT in comparison with biopsy-based tests. We included a consecutive selection of 60 children who fulfilled Rome III criteria for dyspepsia. All children were referred for performing UBT with carbon isotope 13 (C13) as well as endoscopy. Biopsies were taken from antrum of stomach and duodenum. The pathologic diagnosis was considered as the standard test. Results -The mean age of the participants was 10.1±2.6 (range 7-17 years). From our total 60 patients, 28 (46.7%) had positive UBT results and 32 (53.3%) had negative UBT results. Pathologic report of 16 (57.1%) out of 28 patients who had positive UBT were positive for H. pylori and 12 (42.9%) ones were negative. Sensitivity and specificity of C13-UBT for detection of H. pylori infection were 76.2% and 69.2% respectively. Conclusion -Sensitivity and specificity of C13-UBT for detection of H. pylori infection were 76.2% and 69.2% respectively. Another multicenter study from our country is recommended.

“…Foram empregados sacos aluminizados de 650 mL conectados a válvulas unidirecionais para a coleta das amostras de ar expirado; para as crianças incapazes de soprar voluntariamente, uma máscara foi conectada à válvula. A razão 13 CO 2 / 12 CO 2 foi calculada com o uso de um espectrofotômetro infravermelho IRIS (Infrared Isotope Analyzer, Wagner Analysen Technik, Bremen, Alemanha), com um ponto de corte de delta over baseline (DOB) = 4‰ 13 .…”

Objective: To evaluate the prevalence of Helicobacter pylori infection and its association with intestinal parasitoses in children from indigenous communities of the Xingu Indian Reservation, in Brazil.Methods: A total of 245 Native Brazilian children between 2 and 9 years of age, from six villages of the Xingu River region, a tributary of the Amazon River, were assessed. H. pylori was detected using the 13 C-urea breath test. Breath samples were collected at baseline and 30 minutes after ingestion of 50 mg of 13 C-urea diluted with 100 mL of water flavored with passion fruit juice and sweetener. Stool samples were collected for the stool ova and parasites exam for 202/245 (82.4%) children. Results:The overall prevalence of H. pylori was 73.5%. A significant association of H. pylori with increased age was observed among the different villages and ethnic groups. Positive results for the presence of parasites -97.5% (198/202) -from the stool samples collected showed no association with H. pylori. Giardia showed an association with H. pylori in the multivariate analysis. Risk factors for H. pylori infection were observed in Kisêjê and Kaibi ethnic groups (OR [odds ratio] = 3.36 and 4.00, respectively), as well as in Tuiararé, Ngojwere, Capivara, Diauarum, and Pavuru villages (OR = 8.10, 4.10, 4.88, 1.85, and 1.40, respectively). Conclusions:H. pylori infection is highly prevalent in these communities, as well as intestinal parasitoses. However, there were significant differences in the prevalence of H. pylori among the diverse villages studied. Giardia was closely associated with H. pylori infection.

ResumoObjetivo: Avaliar a prevalência da infecção por Helicobacter pylori e sua associação com parasitoses intestinais em crianças da comunidade indígena do Parque Indígena do Xingu. Métodos:Foram incluídas 245 crianças indígenas entre 2 e 9 anos, de seis aldeias da região do rio Xingu, afluente do Amazonas. H. pylori foi detectado pelo teste respiratório com ureia-13 C. Foram coletadas amostras de ar expirado, em jejum e 30 minutos após a ingestão de 50 mg de ureia-13 C diluída em 100 mL de água aromatizada com suco de maracujá. Foram coletadas amostras de fezes de 202/245 (82,4%) crianças para exame protoparasitológico. Conclusões: Foi encontrada alta prevalência de H. pylori e de parasitose intestinal em crianças nas comunidades presentemente investigadas. No entanto, houve diferença significativa na prevalência do H. pylori entre as diversas aldeias estudadas. Verificou-se associação entre a presença de giárdia e a infecção por H. pylori.
