Abstract
Helicobacter pylori is a widely prevalent microbe, Epidemiological and experimental data pointed recently to a strong relation of H. pylori infection on the development of many extragastric diseases, including several allergic and autoimmune diseases. We report a 65-year-old man who presented with cutaneous vasculitis accompanied by gastric H. pylori (Hp) infection. The gastro intestinal manifestations and purpuric lesions were dramatically resolved after Hp eradication therapy.
