title: [Mast cell of upper gastrointestinal tract mucosa and Helicobacter pylori infection in children].
abstract: Using histological, immunohistochemical and electron microscopic examinations of gastric and duodenal mucosa the authors showed the increase in the number of mast cells with ultrastructural changes characteristic of their degranulation in H. pylori infected children. The damage of various intensification in glandular and covering epithelial cells and the inflammatory response were also proved. The results suggest the role of mastocytes in the inflammation of gastric and duodenal mucosa in H. pylori infected children.
