Background: Chronic urticaria is characterized by swelling and itchy hives presenting remissions and exacerbations, for six weeks or more, which may or may not be accompanied by angioedema. Helicobacter pylori infection has been associated with various diseases among them chronic urticaria.
Objective: To determine the association between H. pylori infection and allergic and non-allergic chronic urticaria.
Material And Method: We conducted a retrospective, observational and cross-sectional study which included 82 patients of both sexes with a diagnosis of chronic urticaria, aged between 2 and 75 years. Total serum IgE and IgG anti-H. pylori were measured in all participants. Statistical analysis was performed using the chi-squared test with 0.05 significance.
Results: A total of 82 patients, 33 males and 49 females, with a mean age of 36.9 years were studied. H. pylori seropositivity was in 65.2% of allergic patients and 34.8% of non-allergic patients (p = 0.148).
Conclusions: We found no association between chronic allergic urticaria and H. pylori infection.

Microbiome analysis has become a crucial tool for basic and translational research due to its potential for translation into clinical practice. However, there is ongoing controversy regarding the comparability of different bioinformatic analysis platforms and a lack of recognized standards, which might have an impact on the translational potential of results. This study investigates how the performance of different microbiome analysis platforms impacts the final results of mucosal microbiome signatures.

This letter discusses the research conducted by Abdel-Razeq , highlighting a significant association between () infection and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH) in individuals with a prior history of infection. Using a comprehensive patient database, the study establishes an independent correlation between and an elevated risk of MASH, even after adjusting for coexisting conditions such as obesity, type 2 diabetes, and dyslipidemia. Notably, the findings suggest that may worsen liver pathology through inflammatory pathways, contributing to hepatic insulin resistance and lipid accumulation.

() infection is a known inducer of various gastrointestinal diseases, including gastritis, gastric ulcers, and gastric cancer. However, in recent years, research on the potential association between infection and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH) has been scarce. This large-scale multicenter study, covering more than 360 hospitals across 26 medical systems in the United States, systematically evaluated the association between infection and MASH.

This case report aims to demonstrate a rare occurrence of tendon rupture attributable to levofloxacin use in Helicobacter pylori eradication. On the seventh day of treatment, the patient experienced severe foot pain and difficulty in walking, leading to a diagnosis of Achilles tendon rupture confirmed through magnetic resonance imaging. Levofloxacin-induced tendinopathy and/or rupture are rare complications that are often linked to age and sex.
