Whether Helicobacter pylori triggers celiac disease (CD) or protects against CD is under question and need more research. There are epidemiologic studies that have reported conflicting results regarding the association between H. pylori and CD. increasing prevalence of CD disease had led to the consideration of a number of environmental risk factors that may trigger autoimmunity. Helicobacter pylori is one of the rare infectious agents (along with Epstein-Barr virus) that have been suggested to be involved in several autoimmune disorders.
