this study was to identify the risk factor of H. pylori infection source in
children aged 0 - 5 years in suburban area of Surakarta. An observational
cohort analytic epidemiological study was carried out in suburban area of

with negative PHA in preliminary examination, 34 showed seroconversion. Results
showed that the prevalence of H. pylori infection in those children was 47.4%
and the incidence was 30.4%. Higher rate of prevalence and incidence indicated
various infection sources. DNA assay in drinking water showed 70% positive with
