endoscopic finding in Henoch–Schönlein purpura Henoch–Schönlein purpura is a systemic vasculitis that presents with palpable purpura, abdominal pain, arthritis, and hematuria [1]. The initial clinical symptom of the characteristic purpura makes diagnosis easy. However, the disease is often under-recognized in the 10%–15% of patients in whom gastrointestinal symptoms precede the cutaneous lesion...

A 39 year old man who presented with classical Henoch-Schönlein purpura was shown to have mediastinal nodular sclerosing Hodgkin's lymphoma. The Henoch-Schönlein purpura resolved after treatment of the lymphoma.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Henoch-Schönlein purpura (HSP) is an important cause of chronic kidney disease in children. This meta-analysis identified risk factors associated with renal involvement in childhood HSP. METHODS PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science were searched. The quality of all eligible studies was assessed using the Newcastle-Ottawa scale criteria. An analysis of possible risk fact...

The severity of clinical features and the outcomes in previous series of patients reported with Henoch-Schönlein purpura (HSP) vary greatly, probably due to selection bias. To establish the actual clinical spectrum of HSP in all age groups using an unselected and wide series of patients diagnosed at a single center, we performed a retrospective review of 417 patients classified as having HSP ac...

INTRODUCTION Henoch-Schönlein purpura is a common immunoglobulin A-mediated vasculitis syndrome in children. Henoch-Schönlein purpura can also affect adults and is probably related to malignancy. CASE PRESENTATION We report the case of a 61-year-old Japanese man who presented for examination after an abnormal shadow was detected by chest radiography. He received a diagnosis of pulmonary adeno...

We read with interest the article ‘A patient with abdominal pain and a rash’ by van Laarhoven et al. They made the diagnosis of Henoch-Schönlein purpura (HSP) in their patient using the American College of Rheumatology (ACR) criteria. Recently, however, the diagnostic criteria of HSP were modified by EULAR/PReS (the European League against Rheumatism/ Paediatric Rheumatology European Society) t...

INTRODUCTION Henoch-Schönlein purpura (HSP) is the most common vasculitis of childhood. It is characterized by symptoms including nonthrombocytopenic purpura, abdominal pain, haematuria/proteinuria, and arthralgia/arthritis. The pleiomorphism of clinical signs in HSP could be confused with other conditions or other vasculitis forms. OBJECTIVE Evaluation of HSP clinical presentation, the onset...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Although Henoch-Schönlein purpura (HSP) is the most common form of renal vasculitis in childhood, progression to ESRD is rare, and there are few data on outcomes of renal transplantation in patients with HSP. DESIGN, SETTING, PARTICIPANTS, & MEASUREMENTS This is a matched retrospective cohort study of renal allografts using the United Network of Organ Sharing databas...

We report a rare association of Henoch-Schönlein Purpura with recurrent endocarditis in a 36-year-old man presenting with rash and renal failure. Bacterial endocarditis can be complicated by renal failure of various etiologies. Biopsy may distinguish these and guide therapy as seen in this case. Here, timely diagnosis of Henoch-Schönlein Purpura in the setting of recurrent methacillin sensitive...
