In this study, H. pylori infection was significantly higher in children with non-variceal bleeding than control group (65.4% vs. 36.7% P = 0.02) and variceal group (65.4% vs. 33.3% P = 0.03) with no significant difference between children with variceal bleeding and control group (33.3% vs. 36.7% P = 0.9). This is partly in agreement with the previous as well as other studies [10, 17, 18].
