During the past year, many articles were published on the extragastric diseases related to Helicobacter pylori infection. This supports the theory that some microorganisms may cause diseases even far from the primary site of infection by interfering with different biologic processes. The role of H. pylori on idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura, sideropenica anemia, and vitamin B12 deficiency is well known. On the other hand, there is a growing interest in the bacterium's association with cardiovascular, neurologic, hematologic, dermatologic, head and neck, and uro-gynecologic diseases, as well as diabetes mellitus and metabolic syndrome, with very promising results. This review has been aimed at summarizing the results of the most relevant studies published over the last year on this fascinating topic.

“…The very active Greek group from University of Thessaloniki led by J. Konturas published several original contributions as well as the reviews concerning the connection between H. pylori infection and primary open-angle glaucoma [46,47]. The authors suggested a variety of underlying mechanisms, including the induction of inflammatory responses, as well as apoptotic processes that could lead to glaucomatic neuropathy.…”

In the last year, different diseases possibly linked to Helicobacter pylori infection but localized outside of the stomach have been investigated. There are, in fact, several studies concerning cardiovascular diseases, hematologic disorders, neurologic diseases, metabolic, hepatobiliary diseases, and other conditions. Some of those studies, such as those on sideropenic anemia and idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura, are quite large and well conducted, while in other cases there are just small or isolated studies or even case reports. Nonetheless, there is much interest among researchers all over the world for such a topic as demonstrated by the large number of studies published in the last year.Several articles have been published in the last year concerning the extragastric manifestations of Helicobacter pylori infection. Here we summarize the main results obtained by these studies.

“…We herein wish to provide data additional to those reported in our previous review (Tsolaki et al1) concerning the association between Helicobacter pylori ( H. pylori) infection and primary open-angle glaucoma. These data were not available in the time period when the review paper was submitted and accepted for publication, and we believe that they need to be added because they further reinforce this association.…”
