<i>Helicobacter pylori</i> infection in children with chronic idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura

Abstract

The prevalence of H. pylori infection in children with cITP is not high. However, the platelet count increased after eradication therapy in a boy with cITP. It is suggested that the eradication of H. pylori infection would be valuable in children, as well as in adults, with cITP.
