title: [Detection of Helicobacter pylori in dermatoses. Clinical incidental finding or pathogenetic association?].
abstract: Recently, several reports have been describing a possible relation between Helicobacter pylori infection of the gastric mucosa and dermatological diseases. Associations have been reported for urticaria, roascea, Sjögren's syndrome and Schönlein-Henoch purpura. In this paper we review the current knowledge on Helicobacter pylori infection and its relevance for skin diseases, especially its clinical and pathophysiological aspects.
