Is helicobacter pylori infection a risk factor for disease severity in SSc?

Our data suggest that H.pylori infection correlates with severity of skin, gastrointestinal and joint/tendon involvement in SSc patients. H.pylori- positive SSc patients showed higher severity score compared with H.pylori -negative. Therefore H.pylori infection may play a role in pathogenesis of SSc and also can provide some prognostic information.
