Objective: This study aims to demonstrate the association between chronic urticaria and H.pylori infection for effective management of chronic urticaria. Methodology: A case-control study was conducted in the Dermatology Department of Bakhtawar Amin Trust Hospital Multan from 30th Jan 2020 to 30th Jan 2021. The patients who recently visited the inpatient or outpatient ward of the hospital were a part of the study whereas the patients who were administered proton pump inhibitors or any antibiotics in the last 1 month were excluded from the study. The patients diagnosed with chronic urticaria were asked to collect one gram of stool and submit the sample. The sample was stored at -20 Celsius and tested for H.pylori infection. The strength of association between chronic urticaria and H.pylori infection was measured by conditional logistic regression. Two-tailed p values were noted and p<0.05 was regarded as statistically significant Results: The study included 80 patients (40 controls and 40 cases). The median age was 32 years in controls while 35 years in cases. Both groups had a majority (n=56, 70%) of females. More than one half (n=23, 57%) of cases and controls (n=27, 67%) lived in urban region. There was a significant difference between the percentage of those who tested H.Pylori positive and had CU and those who were H.Pylori positive but did not have CU. In subjects infected with H.Pylori risk of CU is six times higher than those not infected Conclusion: Relation between H.Pylori and Chronic urticaria is significant, which indicates H.Pylori tests for diagnosis of CU. Keywords: Chronic Urticaria, H.Pylori, Stool antigen test

Background. Chronic urticaria (CU) is a common skin disease; however, its etiology is rarely recognized. Infection due to Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) has been shown in some studies to play a significant role in the pathogenesis of CU. Objective. This study was conducted to determine the association between CU and H. pylori infection among patients attending the Regional Dermatology Training Center, Northern Tanzania, from October 2018 to April 2019. Methodology. A matched case-control study that included 55 cases and 55 controls matched by age and sex was conducted. Data were collected through direct interviews, and the results of laboratory investigations were recorded in the extraction sheet. An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay test was used to detect H. pylori antigen in the stool samples. Conditional logistic regression was used to measure the association between CU and H. pylori. Results. The total number of participants in this study was 110 patients (55 cases and 55 controls), whereby the median age was 31 (IQR 27–45) among controls versus 34 (IQR: 22–46) years among the cases. Both cases and controls had the same number of females and males. There was no significant association between CU and baseline characteristics of the participants. There was an association between CU and H. pylori infection, such that subjects with CU had a higher number of positive H. pylori test (15/55 = 27%) versus controls (6/55 = 10.1%) (p=0.0225). The adjusted odds of CU among patients who were positive for H. pylori were sixfolds higher (OR = 6.9; CI: 1.3–36.2; p=0.021) than those of patients who were negative for H. pylori.Conclusion. There was a strong and significant association between CU and H. pylori infection. We recommend investigating for H. pylori in all cases of CU and conducting further trials on H. pylori eradication.
