What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

Study groups in NCT02654197
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
H.pylori positive childrenHealthy children, 6-12 years old, will undergo screening for H. pylori infection by measuring anti-H. pylori and CagA IgG antibodies in the serum. The status of H. pylori infection will be confirmed using breath test (UBT). Children will be classified as i) H. pylori negative, if they test negative on UBT ii) H. pylori positive- CagA negative, if they test positive on UBT, but lack serum CagA IgG antibodies iii) H. pylori positive- CagA positive, if they are positive for H. pylori on UBT and CagA IgG antibodies.
