Helicobacter pylori Infection Is Associated with Leukoaraiosis without Lesion Location Correlation
H. pylori infection is associated with leukoaraiosis, possibly through mechanisms such as chronic inflammatory responses, blood-brain barrier damage, and vascular endothelium damage. Nevertheless, no variation in H. pylori infection was observed among different cerebral white matter lesion locations. Future prospective studies are warranted to validate these findings.
