Core Tip	It is widely accepted that Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection is a key pathogen for gastroduodenal diseases. Recently, the body of literature concerning a possible association between H. pylori infection and extragastric disorders has grown rapidly. Although H. pylori is most frequently acquired during childhood in both developed and developing countries, clinicians are less familiar with the pediatric literature in the field. This review attempts to highlight the main reported associations of H. pylori with extragastric disorders in children (including iron deficiency anemia, chronic idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura, growth retardation, asthma and allergic disorders, and diabetes mellitus).
