Abstract

This paper describes a 36 year-old white woman with six month history of epigastric abdominal pain, reactive arthritis and painful dermographism. Serum antibodies to Helicobacter pylori were identified. All symptoms subsided when she received eradication treatment.

How strong is the evidence?

Evidence Hub reads this as a case report, done in people. Its evidence level is 5 of 5 (Very low · case / narrative / animal / in vitro / in silico). Case reports, narrative reviews, and animal, cell or computer-model studies give the weakest evidence for human health.

How the five levels of evidence work. The level is assigned automatically from the abstract and can be wrong, so check the paper.
