Abstract
The diagnosis of Helicobacter pylori infection continues to challenge practicing physicians around the world. In the last year, several reports from Africa tried to examine the epidemiology of H. pylori infection in nursing babies, while others investigated the association between recurrent abdominal pain symptoms and H. pylori. In the diagnostic arena, attempts were made to improve diagnostic accuracy, mainly by using a new monoclonal version of the stool antigen test, and by applying the urea breath test in smaller children. In the current report, the most important studies on H. pylori infection in children published in the last year are also reviewed.
