In this work, the effect of eradication of Helicobacter pylori on complaints and symptoms of infected, primary Raynaud's syndrome patients was studied. Altogether 92 Helicobacter pylori positive patients with gastric complaints and with primary Raynaud's syndrome received eradication therapy. In this prospective study, before and after the eradication the severity and frequency of the complaints and symptoms of the patients were recorded. The eradication was performable in 89 patients; in 75 cases the eradication was successful. In the eradicated patients frequency and duration of Raynaud attacks were improved related to those of the not eradicated group. These results might suggest a potential etiopathogenetical role of Helicobacter pylori infection in the pathogenesis of the primary Raynaud's syndrome.
