Abstract:
〈 i 〉 Helicobacter pylori 〈 /i 〉 infection has declined over recent decades. However, its prevalence remains high, and nearly 50% of the global population has been infected. In Korea, seroprevalence has steadily decreased in adults, but the status of 〈 i 〉 H. pylori 〈 /i 〉 infection in children is unknown. The current status or trend of 〈 i 〉 H. pylori 〈 /i 〉 infection in children is important because it can help estimate 〈 i 〉 H. pylori 〈 /i 〉 -related diseases including gastric cancer in later life. In this review, the authors discuss the change in 〈 i 〉 H. pylori 〈 /i 〉 infection rate among children and adolescents based on literature reviews and our research.
