Abstract
Sixty-five children with recurrent abdominal pain underwent gastrointestional endoscopy which showed Hp gastritis without duodenal ulcer in 16.9 per cent of cases. The prevalences of infection in recurrent abdominal pain and asymptomatic children were not different. Either urease test or histological method was appropriate for diagnosis of this infection. Triple therapy including bismuth subcitrate, amoxicillin and metronidazole improved abdominal pain symptom in 72.7 per cent without any side effect.
