Henoch Schönlein Purpura

Background: Henoch-Schönlein purpura is the most common vasculitis of small blood vessels in children. The diagnosis of the disease is confirmed in a patient with a specific rash, joint inflamation, abdominal pain or renal disease. The specific rash is necesary for the confirmation of the diagnosis. Henoch-Schönlein purpura can rarely present with a complication withot a prior presentation of the rash. In these cases diagnosis is difficult until the presentation of the specific skin manifestation. In the majority of patients the disease course is not complicated and has a good prognosis.Conclusion: In this article we present three patients with an atypical presentation of the disease and a review of current literature on the topic.

Henoch Schönlein Purpura

Henoch-Schonlein purpura is a systemic vasculitis of unknown cause that is characterized primarily by abdominal pain, arthritis, and purpuric skin lesions. Abdominal pain is the most common gastrointestinal symptom, but intestinal bleeding and intussusception may occur. Previous studies have supported the use of steroids in managing the abdominal pain of Henoch-Schonlein purpura.1,2 Because there are no controlled trials using steroids in this disease, their value in affecting the intestinal lesions of Henoch-Schonlein purpura remains unknown. The purpose of this retrospective study was to assess the effect of corticosteroids on the outcome of abdominal pain in children with Henoch-Schonlein purpura. PATIENTS AND METHODS

In Pregnancy

Henoch-Schonlein purpura is a relatively common pediatric vasculitis. Very few cases of Henoch-Schonlein purpura during pregnancy have been described. Henoch-Schonlein purpura is variable in its presentation, from completely benign to possibly catastrophic complications. This rarely encountered condition in adults can also be a recurrence of a previous childhood disease. We present a case of a pregnant 40-year-old woman with Henoch-Schonlein purpura, resulting in a viable birth with no fetal complications. Her presentation is discussed in detail and a general presentation of Henoch-Schonlein purpura is explored, with particular attention to its rare onset during pregnancy.

Henoch Schönlein Purpura

Leukocytoclastic vasculitis is the most common form of cutaneous vasculitis. It is a neutrophilic small vessel vasculitis resulting from the deposition of circulating immune complexes. Henoch-Schonlein purpura is a systemic type of leukocytoclastic vasculitis, characterized by immunoglobulin A-mediated blood vessel injury. We present a case of Henoch-Schonlein purpura in an adult female manifesting with a vasculitic rash with Koebner phenomenon.
