Abstract
During the last 15 years, a great body of knowledge about Helicobacter pylori has been accumulated. Much, however, remains to be studied, pa rticularly in relation to children. The vast majority of infections oc cur in childhood. It is towards children that any widespread screening , prevention or treatment strategies would need to be aimed. In this a nnotation, we discuss the epidemiology, symptomatology, diagnosis and treatment of H. pylori in children.
