Aim. To assess the character of bacterial-viral infection of the gastric mucosa and dynamics of inflammatory process in adolescents with chronic gastritis in case of antihelicobacter therapy failure.
Materials and methods. Seventy two adolescents with chronic gastritis aged 11–18 years (mean age 13.8 ± 0.4) were examined prior to and after antihelicobacter therapy.
Results. It was established that after treatment against the background of regression of clinical symptoms, in most patients no positive dynamics of process manifestation or its progression was noted both in the body and antral part of the stomach.
Conclusions. In the absolute majority of adolescents with the absence of Hp eradication (78.7 %) there was observed colonization with positive Hp strains and persistence of Epstein-Barr virus (68.1 %). It allows considering patients with such co-infection as a risk group for the absence of Hp eradication.
