Helicobacter pylori (HP) infection is a very important pathogenic link in children with gastroduodenal pathologies. The bacterial implication, in the pathogeny of the digestive diseases and in the development of some extradigestive diseases, is very well known nowadays. The prevalence of the infection differs between geografic areas, it is declining in the developed countries and it is high in the population of the countries in development. It is a fact that there are bacteria which affect specifically an organ, but in the same time, can lead to systemic alterations throughout the entire body. The chronic infection with H. Pylori is associated with anaemia, weight and height loss. The increase of the quality and accuracy inidentifying the H. Pylori infection leads to a low rate of complications of the infection by applying the correct and early treatment.
