Conclusions: The density of IELs in the distal duodenum of diabetic adolescents did not differ from that observed in older children and adolescents without this autoimmune disease. H.pylori infection, which is frequent among adolescents from developing countries, did not modify lymphocyte density in the distal duodenum in the absence of lymphocytic gastritis.
