Bacteria tied to Fibromyalgia?
Saturday 11 December 2010
About.com's Adrienne Dellwo reports:
Bacteria tied to Fibromyalgia?
Research Brief
New research published in Clinical Rheumatology suggests a link between fibromyalgia and infection with a bacteria called heliobacter pylori, or H pylori.
Researchers found that participants with fibromyalgia had significantly higher positive rates of H pylori infection than those in the control group. They concluded that the infection may play a role in the disease process or may be a triggering factor. However, H pylori infection is common in the general population and frequently causes no symptoms, so researchers add that it's difficult to interpret their results.
H pylori is best known as a stomach infection that can lead to ulcers and stomach cancer.
