Abstract
The aim of this study was to determine prospectively whether Helicobacter pylori-associated gastritis is associated with specific symptoms by evaluating whether these symptoms are relieved by treatment of the infection. Symptoms resolved after the eradication of H. pylori in only three of eight children with H. pylori-associated gastritis alone, in comparison with all six children with duodenal ulcer disease.
