Abstract

Pathogenicity genes of Helicobacter pylori studied in children with complicated peptic ulcer disease. Found that patients with complicated ulcer disease prevails serotype I (CagA+ VacA+) Helicobacter pylori. The risk of complicated of Helicobacter-associated peptic ulcer disease increases to 8,18 times (95% CI [2,03-32,9], χ2 = 10,22, p<0,01) for the presence of Helicobacter pylori CagA gene and to 5,37 times (95% CI [5,24-18,9], χ2 = 7,44, p <0,01) in the presence of serotype I (CagA+ VacA+). Thus, CagA gene Helicobacter pylori is a factor that determines the nature of the disease in children.
