Henoch-Schonlein purpura.

1 of 1 DESCRIPTION A 63-year-old man with a history of intermittent vasculitic rash presented with an acute abdomen. Findings at laparotomy were consistent with patchy serosal small vessel vasculitis. The patient was well and walking around the ward 24 h later after intravenous methylprednisolone. In this case no biopsy was taken. The diagnosis was made clinically given the history of intermitt...

Henoch-Schonlein purpura.

Henoch-Schönlein purpura (HSP) is a small vessel vasculitis that annually affects 10 to 20 children per 100,000 population. It is the most common vasculitis of childhood. Although HSP is seen in infancy through adulthood, most documented cases affect children; more than 75% of those diagnosed as having HSP are younger than 10 years, with a peak incidence at 4 to 6 years. White and Asian childre...

Henoch–Schonlein purpura in mesothelioma

Henoch-Schonlein purpura (HSP) is primarily a childhood immunoglobulin A (IgA)-mediated illness. When adults are affected, malignancy can be associated. We present a rare case of HSP in a 75-year-old man with malignant pleural mesothelioma. He presented with episodes of dizziness and subsequently developed non-palpable purpura across his legs, arthralgia, hematuria, proteinuria, and acute renal...

MEFV gene mutations in Egyptian children with Henoch-Schonlein purpura

BACKGROUND Due to an increased frequency of vasculitis in FMF patients, many investigators have studied MEFV mutations in patients with HSP. The aim of the study is to investigate the frequency and clinical significance of MEFV mutations in Egyptian children with Henoch-Schonlein purpura (HSP). Investigating MEFV mutations in controls may help in estimating the prevalence of MEFV mutation carri...
