Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Gastroenterology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Internal Medicine

Background:

  • Peptic ulcer disease (PUD) is common in adults but less frequent in children.
  • Advancements in optical fibroendoscopy have increased PUD diagnosis in pediatric populations.
  • PUD is categorized as primary (no underlying disease) or secondary (related to disease or drugs).

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the pathogenesis, pathophysiology, diagnosis, and treatment of PUD in children.
  • To synthesize findings from recent publications and clinical experience.
  • To highlight the role of H. pylori in pediatric PUD.

Main Methods:

  • Comprehensive review of relevant articles on pediatric peptic ulcers published in the last 20 years.
  • Analysis of clinical presentation, etiology, and therapeutic approaches.

  • Integration of author's personal experience.

    • Main Results:

    • Primary duodenal ulcers are most common, with strong evidence implicating H. pylori.
    • Clinical presentation varies by age and ulcer type; secondary ulcers are often acute, while primary ulcers present chronically.
    • Acid antisecretory agents effectively manage symptoms and lesions, but H. pylori eradication prevents recurrence.

    Conclusions:

    • Multiple factors contribute to primary PUD pathogenesis, with H. pylori being the most significant.
    • Accurate diagnosis and treatment, including H. pylori eradication, are crucial for managing pediatric PUD.
    • Antibiotics play a vital role in PUD management, necessitating further research into H. pylori.
