Abstract
To investigate the association between Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection and iron deficiency anaemia (IDA). Haemoglobin levels, iron parameters and serum IgG antibodies to H. pylori were measured in 693 children aged 9 to 12 y. No significant differences in the seroprevalence of H. pylori infection and antibody titres to H. pylori were found between the IDA group and the non-anaemic controls. H. pylori infection does not seem to contribute to iron deficiency in prepubescent children.
