OBJECTIVE Helicobacter pylori infection in children is associated with a chronic inflammatory process of gastric and duodenal mucosa, which may have a various clinical course ranging from asymptomatic and chronic inflammatory condition to gastric ulceration. The immune system may contribute especially to chronic gastric mucosa inflammation. The aim of our study was to assess the levels of peripheral blood T (CD3+, CD4+, CD8+) and B lymphocyte subpopulation (CD19+) in children with Helicobacter pylori infection and to evaluate their relation to degree of antrum mucosa inflammation. METHODS The study was performed in 32 children aged 7-18 years, hospitalized due to dyspeptic symptoms. The endoscopic examination of upper gastrointestinal tract was performed and gastric and duodenal mucosa was estimated in all patients. The endoscopic and histological evaluation of gastric mucosa was performed according to the Sydney System [4]. The urease test (CLO-test-H. pylori) was made to estimate the severity of the infection. RESULTS Moderate antrum mucosa inflammation was found in 41.2% of the examined. The highest percentage of children (58.8%) presented marked inflammation. No mild inflammation was found in children examined. CONCLUSIONS No correlation was found between lymphocyte levels and the degree of the inflammatory changes in antrum mucosa. The evaluation of peripheral blood lymphocytes performed in children with Helicobacter pylori infection suggests that T lymphocytes may play a predominant role in this infection.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008214 Lymphocytes White blood cells formed in the body's lymphoid tissue. The nucleus is round or ovoid with coarse, irregularly clumped chromatin while the cytoplasm is typically pale blue with azurophilic (if any) granules. Most lymphocytes can be classified as either T or B (with subpopulations of each), or NATURAL KILLER CELLS. Lymphoid Cells,Cell, Lymphoid,Cells, Lymphoid,Lymphocyte,Lymphoid Cell

D005753 Gastric Mucosa Lining of the STOMACH, consisting of an inner EPITHELIUM, a middle LAMINA PROPRIA, and an outer MUSCULARIS MUCOSAE. The surface cells produce MUCUS that protects the stomach from attack by digestive acid and enzymes. When the epithelium invaginates into the LAMINA PROPRIA at various region of the stomach (CARDIA; GASTRIC FUNDUS; and PYLORUS), different tubular gastric glands are formed. These glands consist of cells that secrete mucus, enzymes, HYDROCHLORIC ACID, or hormones.

D016480 Helicobacter pylori A spiral bacterium active as a human gastric pathogen. It is a gram-negative, urease-positive, curved or slightly spiral organism initially isolated in 1982 from patients with lesions of gastritis or peptic ulcers in Western Australia. Helicobacter pylori was originally classified in the genus CAMPYLOBACTER, but RNA sequencing, cellular fatty acid profiles, growth patterns, and other taxonomic characteristics indicate that the micro-organism should be included in the genus HELICOBACTER. It has been officially transferred to Helicobacter gen. nov. (see Int J Syst Bacteriol 1989 Oct;39(4):297-405).
