The relationship between Helicobacter pylori IgG antibody and autologous serum test in chronic urticaria
1Department of Dermatology, Trakya University Medical Faculty, Edirne, Turkey.
Background:
In chronic urticaria, suspicious factors are Helicobacter pylori (HP) infection and autoimmunity, as well as other etiologic agents. Autologous serum injection is the first step to identify autoimmune urticaria. Our study was performed to determine the prevalence of HP infection in patients with chronic urticaria, and to evaluate the results of autologous serum testing in chronic urticaria patients who had HP antibodies.
Methods:
HP immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibody was defined by an immunochromatographic method in 61 chronic urticaria patients and 15 healthy persons. Autologous serum testing was performed in 32 chronic urticaria patients.
Results:
HP IgG antibody was found to be positive in 41% of chronic urticaria patients and 26% of healthy controls (chi2= 7.82, P= 0.005). Autologous serum testing was positive in 40% of chronic urticaria patients who had HP IgG antibody. This ratio was 14.3% in chronic urticaria patients who did not have HP IgG antibody (chi2 = 9.23, P= 0.002).
Conclusions:
In this study, autologous serum testing was found to highly positive in chronic urticaria patients with HP IgG antibody, but the relationship between autoimmunity and HP infection requires further investigations.

Few clinical manifestations differentiate gastric ulcers from duodenal ulcers. Distinctions in the location, timing, and pain relief are crucial for healthcare providers in differentiating between gastric and duodenal ulcers during clinical assessments.

Gastritis-II: Pathophysiology
In acute gastritis, the gastric mucosa becomes swollen and red and undergoes superficial erosion. Superficial ulceration may lead to bleeding.
In chronic gastritis, persistent or repeated insults lead to chronic inflammatory changes and, eventually, thinning or atrophy of the gastric tissue.
Gastritis can stem from various causes, each...
