Summary
The investigators hypothesize that the Helicobacter pylori bacterium decreases iron from the
stomach and that this effect of the infection can be identified among persons with iron
deficiency as well as among persons with normal iron stores. The aim of this study is to
determine whether Helicobacter pylori eradication in children is followed by an increase in
markers of iron stores after six to twelve months of treatment.
