“…The consideration of HP as a major pathogenetic factor in gastrointestinal diseases has been followed by an increasing reference to the association of HP with numerous extradigestive pathologies, 17 with a considerable number of dermatologic conditions among them. 18–31 The first reports in the literature about the association of HP infection with CU were promising. The high prevalence of HP infection in this series, ranging from 55% to 80%, and particularly the high success rate of CU clinical remissions in HP‐positive patients after eradication therapy, ranging from 95% to 100%, 2,3–6 encouraged new studies to confirm these results, and seemed to have uncovered part of the explanation of the etiology of ICU ( Table 2).…”

Helicobacter pylori is a Gram-negative bacterium that has been linked to peptic ulcer disease, gastric lymphoma, and gastric carcinoma. Apart from its well-demonstrated role in gastroduodenal diseases, some authors have suggested a potential role of Helicobacter pylori infection in several extra-intestinal pathologies including haematological, cardiovascular, neurological, metabolic, autoimmune, and dermatological diseases. Some studies suggest an association between Helicobacter pylori infection and skin diseases such as chronic idiopathic urticaria and rosacea. There have also been few case reports documenting association between Helicobacter pylori and psoriasis vulgaris, Behçet's disease, alopecia areata, Henoch-Schönlein purpura, and Sweet's syndrome. However, more systematic studies are required to clarify the proposed association between Helicobacter pylori and skin diseases; most of the studies do not show relevant relationships of these diseases with Helicobacter pylori infections. This review discusses skin diseases that are believed to be associated with Helicobacter pylori.

“…To date, Sweet's syndrome has been reported in association with the following infections: streptoccosis, 2,4 salmonellosis, 5 toxoplasmosis, 6 histoplasmosis, leprosy, tuberculosis, septicaemia from Escherichia coli, 7 yersiniosis, 8 human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and Helicobacter pylori. 9 We now propose the inclusion in this list of Francisella tularensis. We believe it advisable for the physician to rule out the possibility of infection with Francisella tularensis in patients with Sweet's syndrome, especially when accompanied by painful, unilateral adenopathies, prolonged fever, pharyngitis with negative cultures, and atypical pneumonias.…”
