“…These results are in agreement with literature data showing higher frequency of H. pylori infection in migraineurs [3][4][5] and considering that H. pylori should be examined in migrainous patients as a possible risk factor that can contribute to clinical improvement of duration and intensity of migraine attacks with its eradication. Consequently, they are in disagreement with other data supporting a simple cooccurrence of H. pylori infection and migraine [6][7][8][9].…”

Helicobacter pylori infection as an environmental risk factor for migraine without aura

Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection has recently been associated with various extraintestinal pathologies and migraine. The aim of this study was to investigate the correlation of the H. pylori infection with the pathogenesis of migraine without aura, especially in cases not affected by endogenous risk factors, like hereditary pattern or hormonal fluctuations. A total of 49 outpatients (37 females and 12 males; age range: 19-47 years; mean age: 31,±14 years) affected by migraine without aura was evaluated. We divided them in 2 subgroups: a) with positive familial history, and/or with menstrual type of migraine b) with negative familial history and with menstrual unrelated type of migraine. H. pylori infection was diagnosed by the 13 C-urea breath test (INFAI -test). Control subjects consisted of 51 patients without any primary headache history (38 females; mean age of 32,±14,4 years; range 21-49 years), who underwent upper gastrointestinal (GI) endoscopy for investigation of anaemia or non ulcer dyspepsia. H. pylori detection was based on the histologic analysis of gastric mucosa biopsy. The prevalence of H. pylori infection was significantly higher in the migraineurs without aura compared to controls (p=0.016). The prevalence of H. pylori infection was significantly high in the mixed and in the female group of our patients without other predisposing factors for migraine without aura (81 and 87% respectively), while in the same groups with predisposing factors (menstruation and/or family history) the prevalence was only 36 and 37% respectively (p=0,001 for the first group and p=0,002 for the second group). Our results seem to highlight the role of H. pylori infection as a probable independent environmental risk factor for migraine without aura, especially in patients that are not genetically or hormonally susceptible to migraine.

“…As the release of large amounts of various proinflammatory and vasoactive substances, such as cytokines, eicosanoids, and acute phase reactant proteins follows gastric colonization by H. pylori, the bacterium may be involved in vascular disorders. [9][10][11][12][13][14] Moreover, several clinical observations suggest a role for H. pylori infection in various immunological disorders. There have been reports of resolution of various autoimmune diseases (such as HenochSchonlein purpura, Sjogren's syndrome, and autoimmune thrombocytopenia) after H. pylori eradication.…”

“…26,33,73,100 Outras afecções associadas à infecção pelo H. pylori são linfoma de tecido linfóide associado à mucosa gástrica -MALToma, 105 dispepsia não-ulcerativa, 10,12 doenças coronarianas e cardiovasculares, 90,108,98,107 urticária idiopática crônica, 29,110,129 doenças auto-imunes (púrpura de Henoch-Shönlein, 77,111 trombocitopenia auto-imune, 43 síndrome de Sjögren 37 ) e enxaqueca. 42 Estudos sugerem que existe aumento na incidên-cia de refluxo gastroesofágico (RGE) após erradicação do H. pylori da mucosa gástrica. Especulase que a infecção gástrica pelo H. pylori pode exercer algum efeito "protetor" contra o desenvolvimento de esofagite e esôfago de Barrett (lesões reconhecidas como pré-cancerígenas), porém não está estabelecida a associação do RGE após a erradicação do H. pylori e o aumento da incidência do adenocarcinoma de esôfago.…”

Descritores ResumoRealizou-se revisão da epidemiologia da infecção pelo Helicobacter pylori, com o objetivo de analisar sua importância na infância e adolescência no que se refere à incidência, à prevalência, às vias de transmissão e aos fatores de risco. Para tanto, realizou-se uma pesquisa nas bases de dados Lilacs (OPS/Bireme) e Medline (National Library of Medicine) e no banco de teses da Universidade de São Paulo dos anos de 1983 a 1999. A análise da literatura levou à conclusão de que a infecção pelo Helicobacter pylori é adquirida principalmente durante a infância, apresenta aumento da prevalência com a idade, os principais fatores de riscos estão relacionados ao baixo nível socioeconômico e o mecanismo de transmissão permanece desconhecido. AbstractThe scope of the review is to study the epidemiological aspects of Helicobacter pylori infection and its importance during childhood and adolescence, focusing on incidence, prevalence, transmission and risk factors. The study's references included the following databases: LILACS (PAHO/ Bireme), MEDLINE, the US's National Library of Medicine and the thesis developed at University of São Paulo for the period 1983 to 1999. It was noted that Helicobacter pylori infection is mainly acquired during childhood, age-related prevalence, main risk factors are associated to low socioeconomic status, and its transmission mechanism remains unclear.
