Cure of Alopecia Areata After Eradication of Helicobacter Pylori: A New Association?

The document reviewed studies and case reports suggesting a potential link between the eradication of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) and the cure of alopecia areata. It indicated that treating H. pylori infection might lead to improvements or complete remission in some patients with alopecia areata, hinting at a possible connection between H. pylori and autoimmune responses affecting the skin and hair. However, it emphasized the need for further research to confirm these findings and understand the underlying mechanisms.
