Core Tip The exact etiology of systemic rheumatic diseases is unclear, but it has long been suggested that exposure to certain environmental agents, such as bacterial infection, in genetically predisposed individuals may be the trigger for the initiation of autoimmune processes. Because of its prevalence and ability to affect human immune function, many researchers have hypothesized that Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) might contribute to the systemic rheumatic diseases development. I summarize the current state of knowledge about H. pylori role in autoimmune systemic rheumatic diseases and the possible mechanisms by which H. pylori exposures might induce pathological processes.
