Abstract
Amaç: Henoch-Schönlein Purpurası (HSP) olan çocuk hastalarda Helikobakter Pilori (HP) enfeksiyonunun sıklığının araştırılması amaçlanmıştır.Gereç ve Yöntemler: Haziran 2009 - Aralık 2011 tarihleri arasında HSP tanısı alan 61 hasta ve benzer yaşlarda 62 sağlıklı çocuktan oluşan kontrol grubunda ELISA yöntemi ile HP IgG ve IgA serolojisi çalışıldı.Bulgular: HSP’li 61 hastanın (yaş ort: 8.53±3.8 yıl, K/E: 32/29) 34’ünde (%55.7) HP IgG, 37’sinde (%60.6) HP IgA tipi antikor varlığı saptandı. Kontrol grubunda (yaş ort: 9.16±3.3 yıl, K/E: 30/32) HP IgG antikor pozitifliği %61.3 saptandı. Hasta ve kontrol grupları arasında HP IgG pozitifliği açısından istatistiksel anlamlı bir fark yoktu. Karın ağrısı olanlarda HP IgG pozitifliği %64.5, IgA pozitifliği %71 idi. Mide ağrısı (epigastik ağrı) tarif edenlerde HP IgG pozitifliği %60’dı. HP IgG pozitifliği ile GİS bulgularının şiddeti arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir fark saptanmadı.Sonuç: Sonuç olarak sağlıklı çocuklarda bile %60’lara varan HP seropozitivitesinin görülmesi, toplumumuzda HP ile erken yaşta karşılaşmanın iyi bir göstergesidir. Bu enfeksiyonun gastrointestinal yakınmalar dışında da birçok hastalığa neden olabileceği düşünüldüğünde çok önemli bir toplum sağlığı sorunu olduğu açıktır. HSP’li hastalarda HP seropozitivitesi yüksek bulunmakla beraber sağlıklı çocuklardan farklı bulunmamıştır.

Abstract
Objective: We investigated the frequency of Helicobacter Pylori (HP) infection in children with Henoch-Schönlein purpura (HSP).Material and Methods: The study involved 61 patients with HSP and 62 healthy controls of similar age between July 2009 and December 2011. HP IgG and IgA levels were evaluated by the ELISA method in all patients and controls. Results: The HP IgG and IgA seropositivity rates were 55.7% and 60.6% in HSP patients (mean age 8.53±3.8 years, F/M: 32/29) and HP IgG seropositivity was 61.3% in normal controls (mean 9.1±3.3 years, F/M: 30/32). There was no statistical difference between the two groups. The HP IgG seropositivity rate was 64.5% in patients with abdominal pain and 60% in those with epigastric pain. There was no signifi cant relationship between HP seropositivity and the degree of abdominal complaints. Conclusion: HP seropositivity was found in up to 60% percent of healthy control subjects, indicating that HP infection begins in early childhood. It is an important public health problem as it can cause many other disorders in addition to its effects on the gastrointestinal system. The HP seropositivity rate was high in HSP patients but not different from healthy controls

The publication language of Turkish Journal of Pediatric Disease is English.
Manuscripts submitted to the Turkish Journal of Pediatric Disease will go through a double-blind peer-review process. Each submission will be reviewed by at least two external, independent peer reviewers who are experts in the field, in order to ensure an unbiased evaluation process. The editorial board will invite an external and independent editor to manage the evaluation processes of manuscripts submitted by editors or by the editorial board members of the journal. The Editor in Chief is the final authority in the decision-making process for all submissions. Articles accepted for publication in the Turkish Journal of Pediatrics are put in the order of publication, with at least 10 original articles in each issue, taking into account the acceptance dates. If the articles sent to the reviewers for evaluation are assessed as a senior for publication by the reviewers, the section editor and the editor considering all aspects (originality, high scientific quality and citation potential), it receives publication priority in addition to the articles assigned for the next issue.
The aim of the Turkish Journal of Pediatrics is to publish high-quality original research articles that will contribute to the international literature in the field of general pediatric health and diseases and its sub-branches. It also publishes editorial opinions, letters to the editor, reviews, case reports, book reviews, comments on previously published articles, meeting and conference proceedings, announcements, and biography. In addition to the field of child health and diseases, the journal also includes articles prepared in fields such as surgery, dentistry, public health, nutrition and dietetics, social services, human genetics, basic sciences, psychology, psychiatry, educational sciences, sociology and nursing, provided that they are related to this field. can be published.
