[THE ROLE OF HELICOBACTER PYLORI IN ROSACEA AND PATHOGENETIC TREATMENT]

Area of Science:

• Dermatology
• Gastroenterology
• Microbiology

Background:

• Rosacea is a chronic skin condition with multifactorial causes.
• An increased incidence of rosacea has been observed in individuals with Helicobacter pylori infection.
• Helicobacter pylori is a common stomach bacterium implicated in various gastrointestinal disorders.

Purpose of the Study:

• To determine the relationship between Helicobacter pylori infection and rosacea.
• To investigate the effectiveness of H. pylori eradication therapy in treating rosacea.
• To explore H. pylori as a potential pathogenic factor in rosacea development.

Main Methods:

• Patient cohort screening for H. pylori infection.
• Correlation analysis between infection rates and rosacea severity.
• Assessment of rosacea treatment outcomes following H. pylori eradication therapy.

Main Results:

• A high prevalence of H. pylori infection was found in rosacea patients (80.9%).
• A significant correlation exists between H. pylori infection rates and the severity of rosacea.
• H. pylori eradication therapy demonstrated effectiveness in treating various forms of rosacea.

Conclusions:

• Helicobacter pylori plays a significant role in the pathogenesis of rosacea.
• H. pylori eradication should be considered as a therapeutic strategy for rosacea.
• Further research into the pathophysiological aspects of H. pylori in rosacea is warranted.
