Characteristics of the333 children studied.

Degree of infiltration of MN and PMN cells in the gastric mucosa of children according to infection with EBV and H. pylori.
Figure 1.
H. pylory and EBV infection frequencies in pediatric patients with gastritis according to the different grades of mononuclear (inflammation) and polymorphonuclear (activity) cell infiltration.
Asterisks denote associations with statistical significance: HP−/EBV− and HP−/EBV+ groups with mild MN and no PMN (open circle and triangle), HP+/EBV− (grey circle) with moderate MN and mild PMN, and HP+/EBV+ (grey triangle) with severe MN and moderate-severe PMN.

Degree of infiltration of mononuclear (MN) and polymorphonuclear (PMN) cells in the gastric mucosa of children according to co-infection with EBV and H. pylori (HP).
Figure 2.
Infection frequencies and gastritis severity related to the presence of CagA.
Asterisks denote associations with statistical significance: HP CagA−/EBV− and HP CagA−/EBV+ groups with mild MN and no PMN (open circle and triangle), HP CagA+/EBV− (grey circle) with mild PMN, and HP CagA+/EBV+ (grey triangle) with severe MN and moderate-severe PMN.

Age adjusted PR values for severe MN and moderate-severe PMN infiltration when compared between co-infected children against without infection or with single H. pylori infection.
