Abstract

A 15-year-old girl was diagnosed with H. pylori-associated chronic gastritis complicated with anorexia nervosa. Binge eating, vomiting, amenorrhea and body weight loss were observed one year after epigastralgia developed. After successful H. pylori eradication therapy, epigastralgia and amenorrhea disappeared. Binge eating, vomiting and weight loss subsided. In addition, the endoscopic appearance of the stomach remarkably improved. For patients with anorexia nervosa, who are complaining of severe abdominal symptoms, H. Pylori infection and its eradication therapy should be considered.
