Abstract
- Aim: To investigate the association between Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection and iron deficiency anaemia (IDA). Methods: Haemoglobin levels, iron parameters and serum IgG antibodies to H. pylori were measured in 693 children aged 9 to 12 y. Results: No significant differences in the seroprevalence of H. pylori infection and antibody titres to H. pylori were found between the IDA group and the non-anaemic controls. Conclusion: H. pylori infection does not seem to contribute to iron deficiency in prepubescent children.
