“…The index children were followed up with UBT. One of 26 children was infected in the former group, and three of 24 in the latter group ( p = .34) [13]. In Gambia, 12 village clusters were randomly allocated to insecticide and control groups and the frequency of infectious diseases was compared.…”

This review summarizes epidemiologic studies published between April 2004 and March 2005. DNA of Helicobacter pylori was detected in river water, but the culture was unsuccessful. H. pylori infection was associated with Shigella infection. Despite many studies, predominant infection routes of H. pylori have not yet been clearly identified. In some limited populations in developing countries, H. pylori infection was rare or with strange distributions. Trials to reduce the H. pylori infection rate were performed including H. pylori eradication in total family units and fly control. The hypothesis of a causal role of Helicobacter species and H. pylori infection in cancer of the hepatobiliary tract was indeed confirmed.

“…Additional drugs include rifampicin and its more effective analog, rifabutin, which both have excellent in vitro activity against H. pylori and have been used in second‐ and third‐line therapy approaches . Once successfully eradicated, the reinfection rate is low in Western European children and not significantly further reduced by additional treatment of other family members …”

“…Our study of 136 children revealed a high recurrence rate of 25.2% during the first year after successful eradication of H. pylori infection. In developed countries, reported recurrence rates in children have varied between 2.3 and 12.8% . Almost no studies have investigated H. pylori recurrence rates in children in developing countries.…”
