IRON DEFICIENCY ANEMIA IN CHILDREN WITH CHRONIC GASTRODUODENITIS OF HELICOBACTERIOUS 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) against the background of gastroduodenal diseases, which are more common in the pediatric population [1,5]. Currently, there are increasingly more studies studying the connection between Helicobacter pylori infection and the development of food allergies. Helicobacter pylori infection manifests itself in various unexpected symptoms of extragastric diseases, one of the most common is iron deficiency anemia [2,3]. In childhood, in addition to gastroduodenal pathology, there is a possibility of developing iron deficiency and iron deficiency anemia, vitamin B12 deficiency, growth retardation in adolescents, skin diseases, chronic urticaria, atopic dermatitis, food allergies against the background of persistence of Helicobacter pylori [4]. One of the factors with which the characteristics of clinical forms of Helicobacter pylori-associated diseases are usually associated is the genetic characteristics of the microorganism, which determines its virulence.
