Relationship between helicobacter pylori infection and pityriasis versicolor: Can helicobacter pylori infection be a new etiologic factor for pityriasis versicolor?

CONCLUSION: In this study, we found a statistically significant relationship between H. pylori infection and pityriasis versicolor. Therefore, H.pylori eradication could be considered in recurrent pityriasis versicolor patients with dyspepsia. New studies are required to clarify the effect of eradication treatment on the clinical course of pityriasis versicolor. PMID: 32151117 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
