Abstract
Dear Editor,
We report the case of a 12-year-old patient that was taken to the ER because of epigastralgia for 15 days. He had no other relevant symptoms or history.
As he had high-organicity pain (severe pain in the epigas- trium that interfered with sleep), and the patient came from a high-prevalence region for Helicobacter pylori (Hp) infection (Colombia), a breath test was performed with 13C urea (UBT). Following UBT positivity therapy was indicated with omepra- zole, clarithromycin, and amoxicillin for 14 days.
