In a prospective investigation, a rapid latex test for Helicobacter pylori in the serum (Pyloriset) was carried out in 39 patients with recurrent abdominal pain aged from six to 15 years. The test was positive in 19 patients. All of these children were subjected to gastroduodenoscopy. Seven cases showed a Helicobacter-associated chronic active antrum gastritis, whereas in the remaining 12 children gastritis not induced by Helicobacter or normal mucosa was found. Of the 20 Pyloriset-negative patients, only five could be biopsied. One of these showed a Helicobacter pylori-induced antrum gastritis. The latex test investigated had a positive predictive value which was too low (37%) to make it helpful in deciding for or against gastroduodenoscopy and the general anesthesia mostly associated with this.
