Abstract: more likely to have H.pylori infection than those without digestive symptoms.Conclusions The total infection rate of H.pylori in Chinese children and adolescents is 29% and there is significant difference in geographical distribution. The infection rate of H.pylori in the higher incidence area of gastric cancer is 2.8 times higher than that in the low incidence area of gastric cancer. However,high quality epidemiological investigation with large sample size is needed,in order to further clarify the details of H.pylori infection in children and adolescents in China.
