If the bacterial community also has celebrity ratings

Helicobacter pylori is firmly in position C

China is a high-risk country for Helicobacter pylori (Hp) infection

Hp not only has strong survival ability, but is also easily contagious

And silently extended his claws towards the child

It is reported that the infection rate among children and adolescents in China is as high as 40%

Especially among children living in groups with relatively poor sanitation conditions

The Hp infection rate is higher!

First, let's take a look at three pieces of news

① The Children's Medical Center of the Second Hospital of Shandong University received a 9-year-old boy named Tong Tong (pseudonym) who has been experiencing abdominal pain and dry vomiting for a month.

At first, the parents thought he had a cold stomach and only gave him simple oral medication treatment. However, Tong Tong's symptoms gradually worsened. The parents were not aware and immediately took the child to the hospital. After further professional gastroscopy examination and rapid furosemide enzyme test on the sample extracted from the gastric antrum, the cause was determined. Tong Tong Tong, who was only 9 years old, was infected with Helicobacter pylori (Hp) and had already started to have pitting erosion in the stomach.

② Xuan Xuan (pseudonym), who is 3 and a half years old in Hunan, was taken to the Pediatric Medical Center of Changsha First Hospital by his parents due to recurrent abdominal pain for six months. The parents anxiously said, 'We haven't found the cause yet, and it's getting worse and worse. We can't eat enough and suffer from malnutrition, and we often feel nauseous and nauseous.'. The doctor immediately conducted a Helicobacter pylori test on Xuan Xuan, and the result was positive. The gastroscopy also revealed extensive erosion in Xuan Xuan's stomach, confirming that the root cause of the abdominal pain was due to Helicobacter pylori infection.

③ Mingming (pseudonym), a 6-year-old from Zhengzhou, suddenly experienced a series of stomach pains during respiratory treatment for an acute asthma attack. The pain made Mingming roll around. After careful examination, the doctor found that Mingming was infected with Helicobacter pylori and had problems with his stomach and intestines. Mingming's mother said that out of their family of five, four of them were found to be infected with Helicobacter pylori.

You may wonder why such a young child can also be infected with Hp? How did they get infected?

How do children get infected with Helicobacter pylori

The main ways for children to be infected with Hp are through oral and fecal oral transmission. As in the third case, family transmission is the main route for children to contract Helicobacter pylori, such as adults feeding and kissing their children mouth to mouth, or children consuming infected water or food.

According to the consensus of domestic experts on the diagnosis and treatment of Helicobacter pylori infection in children, the indications for Hp detection are:

① Peptic ulcer;

② Gastric mucosa associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma;

③ Chronic gastritis;

④ Children with gastric cancer in their first degree relatives;

⑤ Unknown cause refractory iron deficiency anemia;

⑥ Plan to take long-term nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (including low-dose aspirin).

Helicobacter pylori is highly elusive, and most children infected with Hp have no obvious symptoms. Clinical observations have shown that recurrent abdominal pain, anorexia, and emaciation are the three main symptoms of Helicobacter pylori infection in children. So when a child experiences symptoms such as abdominal pain, decreased appetite, nausea and vomiting, belching, acid reflux, vomiting blood, bloody stools, malnutrition, constipation, early satiety, etc., the first consideration should be whether there is Helicobacter pylori infection, and one must not be careless!

Can Helicobacter pylori infection in children cause cancer

25% to 30% of Hp infected individuals may experience varying degrees of gastrointestinal diseases, such as indigestion, chronic gastritis, peptic ulcers, gastric malignancies, etc; Hp infection is also closely related to a variety of extragastrointestinal diseases (such as iron deficiency anemia, idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura, autoimmune diseases, cardiovascular diseases, cerebrovascular diseases, etc.), and has certain relevance to the occurrence of gastric cancer. When combined with other factors, it will greatly increase the incidence rate of gastric cancer.

However, the probability of serious illness in children infected with Hp is relatively low, and most of the impact is mainly on diseases such as digestive ulcers. Cancer is a long process, and it cannot be said that infection will quickly lead to cancer. And the development of various organs in children is not yet perfect. During the growth process, there is a possibility of self-healing even if infected with Helicobacter pylori. However, children with low immunity have a higher probability of reinfection.

In addition, according to the "Expert Consensus on the Diagnosis and Treatment of Helicobacter pylori Infection in Chinese Children (2022)", eradicating Hp can reduce the occurrence and recurrence of peptic ulcers in children and lower the incidence of gastric cancer in adulthood.

How to prevent/treat Helicobacter pylori in children

Method for detecting Helicobacter pylori:

① Blood sampling and testing: not recommended, there may be false positives and false negatives

② Gastroscopy sampling and testing: not recommended, children tend to reject it and the cost is relatively high

③ Breath sampling test: It is recommended that children use 13C breath test, which does not involve radiation. (It has been recognized as the current method for detecting Helicobacter pylori)

Prevention methods for Helicobacter pylori: Preventing and controlling Hp infection at the household level is an important strategy to block Hp infection and transmission.

① Promote the use of public chopsticks and separate meals;

② Disinfect food, water, and utensils properly, and use personal items such as toothbrushes separately;

③ Ensure reasonable sleep and dietary habits, exercise appropriately, and improve the body's immunity;

④ For the health of adolescents and children, it is recommended that adult Hp infected individuals in the family actively eradicate Hp without contraindications.

Treatment methods for Helicobacter pylori:

① Traditional antibiotic therapy:

At present, hospitals generally advocate quadruple drug therapy for the treatment of Helicobacter pylori, which includes one proton pump inhibitor, two antibiotics, and one bismuth agent.

But with the increase of Hp resistance rate, the previously recommended first-line treatment plan can no longer meet clinical needs. And the medication time is long, and children are more allergic to antibiotics, which can cause rash and even allergic shock. Therefore, children have limited drug options for Hp treatment, making it more challenging than adults to treat.

② Cutting edge and effective health and anti-aging solutions:

The international scientific community has been studying effective solutions to combat Helicobacter pylori from different perspectives. Regarding its physical structure, transmission mode, and various symptoms manifested in the human body, especially for high-risk children, more emphasis is placed on the safety, naturalness, health, and effectiveness of quiet solutions.

Prepared by inactivating multiple patented probiotics after composite fermentation Postbiocare ®， It is a new generation of anti gastric and gastric protection solution that can replace antibiotics at the forefront of scientists.

Helicobacter pylori may seem scary, but as long as we improve some bad habits, it is not impossible to prevent it. If we don't want our children to be at risk of stomach problems at a young age, as parents, we need to believe in science, use science to protect the stomach, and ensure that our children are healthy and worry free
