[Factors in forming ulcers in children].
A total of 115 pediatric patients with gastric (GU) and duodenal ulcer (DU) who ranged from 4 to 15 years old were examined. Differences between qualitative and quantitative indices were assessed with the aid of the correlation analysis which was also used to study functional relations between anamnesis, clinical-and-morphological and functional indices in GU and DU children. A significant positive correlation has been established between GU/DU and Helicobacter p. infection, hereditary factor, age, duration of the illness with a significant back correlation. There is a direct correlation with sex. Food allergy correlates positively with the ulcerous process. An association has been demonstrated between acute respiratory diseases and development of the ulcerous process.
