Helicobacter pylori infection in children: an overview of global characteristics and the effectiveness of tailored therapy.

No specific symptomatology or typical endoscopic features exist for children infected with Helicobacter pylori , except for nodular gastritis, which, when present, is highly predictive of the infection.

This study compares the clinical and endoscopic features of infected and non-infected children and evaluates antimicrobial resistance and eradication rates between tailored and empirical treatments.
