Formation of Iron Deficiency Anemia in Children with Chronic Gastroduodenitis of Helicobacteriosis Etiology

Abstract

Helicobacter pylori infection is one of the most widespread infections on the globe. Helicobacter pylori infection is involved in the development of iron deficiency anemia (IDA) due to gastroduodenal diseases, which are more common in the pediatric population [1,5]. Currently, there are more and more studies studying the association of Helicobacter pylori infection with the development of food allergies. Helicobacter pylori infection is manifested by various unexpected symptoms of extragastric diseases, one of the most common being iron deficiency anemia [2,3]. In childhood, in addition to gastroduodenal pathology, there is a possibility of the formation of iron deficiency and iron deficiency anemia, vitamin B12 deficiency, growth retardation in adolescents, skin diseases, chronic urticaria, atopic dermatitis, and food allergies against the background of Helicobacter pylori persistence [4]. One of the factors that is commonly associated with the features of clinical forms of Helicobacter pylori-associated diseases is the genetic characteristic of the microorganism, which determines its virulence.
