Acute duodenal ulcers in young children often follow viral illnesses. These pediatric ulcers typically heal rapidly with medical treatment, even if multiple or irregularly shaped.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Gastroenterology
  • Gastrointestinal Pathology
  • Infectious Diseases

Background:

  • Acute duodenal ulcers are uncommon in infants and children.
  • Previous studies have not fully elucidated the etiology and clinical course in this age group.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the clinical characteristics, endoscopic findings, and outcomes of acute duodenal ulcers in a pediatric population.
  • To explore the potential association between preceding illnesses and the development of duodenal ulcers in children.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective study of 31 infants and children diagnosed with acute duodenal ulcers via endoscopy over eight years.
  • Clinical data, including preceding illnesses and symptoms, were analyzed.
  • Endoscopic findings regarding ulcer morphology, number, and location were documented.

  • Follow-up endoscopy and long-term outcomes were assessed.

    • Main Results:

    • The majority of patients (58%) were under two years old.
    • Upper gastrointestinal bleeding was the most frequent symptom (87%).
    • A preceding illness, such as diarrhea, respiratory infection, or fever, was reported in 94% of cases.
    • Most ulcers (77%) healed completely within one to two weeks of initial diagnosis.
    • Medical management was successful in 97% of patients, with only one requiring surgery for uncontrollable hemorrhage.

    Conclusions:

    • Young children can develop acute duodenal ulcers, often associated with viral illnesses, irrespective of antipyretic drug use.
    • Pediatric acute duodenal ulcers demonstrate rapid healing and favorable long-term outcomes with appropriate medical management.
    • The findings underscore the importance of considering viral-associated duodenal ulcers in the differential diagnosis of gastrointestinal bleeding in children.
