Abstract
Helicobacter pylori has been conclusively linked to different forms of gastrointestinal and extra gastrointestinal diseases. (115 H.pylori induces lipid peroxidation with generation of reactive oxygen molecules which leads to oxidative stress in the gastric and duodenal mucosa. (176)Excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS) production has been reported in H.pylori- infected human gastric mucosa (176) ,which correlates significantly with histologic mucosal damage. (177)The aim of this study was to evaluate serum levels of oxidative stress indices in children with Helicobacter pylori infection.This study was carried out upon 30 children infected with Helicobacter pylori with their ages ranged from 7-15 years with a mean value of 11 ± 2.65 years who were attending the Hepatology Unit , Pediatric Department of TantaUniversity Hospital in the period from March 2015 to May 2016. Thirty children age - and sex- matched with no evidence of Helicobacter pylori infection were chosen and served as controls.
