Özet

Background Acne rosacea is a dermatosis with unknown etiology Some studies have reported a high prevalence of Helicobacter pylori infection in acne rosacea. Other studies have reported a decrease in the severity of the lesions of acne rosacea after eradication of H. pylori. H. pylori is a Gram-negative bacterium which colonizes the gastric mucosa and increases the synthesis of oxygen radicals, such as superoxideand proinflammatory cytokines. These cytokines have been demonstrated to stimulate the synthesis of the inflammatory species nitric oxide (NO). In this study, we examined the role of NO in the possible effect of H. pylori in acne rosacea.
