Investigation into the frequency of Helicobacter pylori infection with carbon 14 urea breath test in patients with vitiligo

Abstract: IntroductionVitiligo is an acquired depigmenting skin disorder. It occurs clinically by the appearance of well-circumscribed, asymptomatic, white macules following the loss of functional melanocytes in the epidermis (1). The prevalence rate of vitiligo ranges from 0.06% to 2.28% in the population (2). The main etiopathogenesis of vitiligo is multifactorial. According to various pathophysiological theories, it may be associated with autoimmunity, neurogenic dysregulation, autocytotoxicity, biochemical dysregula… Show more

“…It was also suggested that there is a relationship between H. pylori infection and vitiligo, but except for increased incidence of infection with this bacteria in vitiligo, no statistically significant differences were found [27]. Rifaioğlu et al demonstrated in their study that the incidence of H. pylori infection is significantly higher in vitiligo patients (64.7%) than in the control group (33.3%) [28]. The study did not confirm an effect of H. pylori infection on vitiligo disease activity score or vitiligo involvement pattern [27,29].…”

“…Other observations suggesting a role for both nutrients and microbes as triggers for disease include the prevalence of H. pylori among vitiligo patients (Rifaioğlu et al., 2014). H. pylori infections also correlate with disease activity and severity in vitiligo patients (Bakry et al., 2018).…”
