“…13,14 Another possibility would be that urticaria patients might develop specific IgE antibodies to H. Pylori, an attractive explanation that still requires confirmation. 15 In this context, Liutu et al 16 have reported greater rates of total IgE increase in patients with chronic urticaria This case-control study was conducted at the Dermatology and Venereology Consultation Department from where the cases were selected and the controls were taken in the medical ward in Rizgary Teaching Hospital in Erbil city. The study was conducted within the period of April 1 st , 2013 to January 1 st , 2014.…”

4Recent observations had suggested a possible Background and objective: Chronic urticaria is one of the most frequent skin diseases and still its etiology is recognized only in a minority of cases. Some recent studies point out to infections due to Helicobacter Pylori as being of major importance in the pathogenesis of chronic urticaria. This study aimed to find out the association of chronic urticaria with H. pylori. Methods: A case-control study was conducted in Erbil city within the period of April 1 st , 2013 to January 1 st , 2014. The study included 55 cases with chronic urticaria and 55 controls that were free from features of chronic urticaria. Data was collected through direct interview and the results of laboratory investigations were recorded in a specially designed questionnaire. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay test was used for detection of Helicobacter pylori antigen in the stool sample. Results: The age of the 55 cases and 55 controls enrolled ranged from 13 to 65 years. Stool for Helicobacter pylori antigen test was positive in 69.1% of cases and 29.1% of controls (OR = 5.44, P ˂0.001). The mean age ± SD of positive Helicobacter pylori patients were 35.75 ± 12.64 years, with male to female ratio 1:2.8. No statistically significant association was found between Helicobacter Pylori infection with dyspepsia and duration of urticaria. Conclusions: There was a strong association of chronic urticaria with Helicobacter pylori infection. Investigating for Helicobacter pylori in all cases of chronic urticaria and conducting further trials on Helicobacter pylori eradication is recommended.

“…Infekcje takie wymagają właściwego leczenia, a przykładem jest stan zapalny w obrębie przewodu pokarmowego spowodowany Helicobacter pylori (leczenie powinno być prowadzone, nawet jeśli związek z pokrzywką u danego pacjenta jest nieznany, a metaanalizy wykazują mało dowodów na korzyść takiej terapii [79], co wynika z potencjalnego związku pomiędzy infekcją spowodowaną H. pylori a możli wością rozwoju raka żołądka). Podobnie konieczność leczenia dotyczy bakteryjnych infekcji w obrębie jamy nosowogardłowej [41,[80][81][82][83]. Konieczna także jest eliminacja wszelkich infestacji pasożytniczych [84], pomimo że są one rzadką przyczyną PPS na obszarze krajów rozwiniętych.…”

“…In all patients with urticaria, the following laboratory investigations were also done: aminotransferase, alkaline phosphatase, ␥-glutamyltransferase, and bilirubin levels; antinuclear antibodies, rheumatoid factor, and cryoglobulinemia; and antibodies to Helicobacter pylori (threshold value, 10 U/mL) 24 and Toxocara canis. 25 Physical urticaria was also investigated by a pressure test, a search for urticarial dermographism, and the ice cube test.…”

Etiologic aspects of chronic urticaria

Abstract: In this study, several findings suggesting aberrant immunologic activation were detected in chronic urticaria patients. Inflammation in the gastrointestinal tract, e.g. caused by H. pylori infection, may have an important role in the etiology of chronic urticaria.
