Henoch-Schönlein purpura (HSP) is a vasculitis of small-sized blood vessels, resulting from immunoglobulin-A-mediated inflammation. It is the most common acute systemic vasculitis in childhood and mainly affects skin, gastrointestinal tract, joints, and kidneys. The characteristic rash of HSP consists of palpable purpuric lesions 2 to 10 mm in diameter concentrating in the buttocks and lower extremities. The occurrence of hemorrhagic bullae in children with HSP is rarely encountered. This report describes a 4.5-year-old female patient with HSP associated with hemorrhagic bullous lesions.

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.

Henoch Schonlein purpura is a systemic vasculitis that commonly affects children and teenagers but also affects adults of all ages. In most instances it has a benign course. Organ involvement, particularly in adults, and notably the kidneys and gastrointestinal tract may require therapeutic intervention and may have a less favorable outcome. We report a case of a 58-year-old man who presented with purpura and who rapidly developed catastrophic intestinal vasculitis, leading to his demise.

We report a case of ten year old male child of Henoch-Schönlein purpura (HSP) who presented initially with predominant hemorrhagic bullae in extremities. Initial presentation with bullae is rare in HSP. The child recovered within two weeks with a course of systemic and topical steroid without any sequel.

Henoch Schönlein Purpura

Henoch-Schönlein purpura (HSP) is a systemic vasculitis involving small vessels with deposition of immunoglobulin A (IgA) complexes, usually affecting children. Compared with children, HSP in adults is more severe and frequently associated with cancer. We report the case of a 49-year-old woman with medical history of kidney transplantation for segmental glomerular hyalinosis. Eight years after the transplantation, while taking combined immunosuppressive therapy with tacrolimus and azathioprine indicated for the prevention against transplant rejection, she developed a Henoch-Schönlein purpura. Vasculitis involves skin and sciatic peroneal nerve and she received systemic corticosteroid treatment. Because of four relapses and corticosteroid dependence, the patient was treated with rituximab (two intravenous infusions of 1000 mg given two weeks apart). Successful outcome was observed along two years of follow-up. This new case of successful use of rituximab in HSP promotes more investigations of this treatment in clinical trials.

Henoch Schönlein Purpura

Henoch-Schonlein purpura or anaphylactoid purpura is a systemic vasculitis of unknown cause that affects small vessels and mainly involves the skin, joints, gastrointestinal tract and kidneys. Gastrointestinal involvement occurs in more than half of patients and is thought to be related to edema and intramural haemorrhage. Radiologically the gastrointestinal findings are mainly those of bowel ischemia with “thumbprinting” and bowel wall oedema. Although this disease is usually treated conservatively, aggressive intervention is occasionally performed because of acute abdominal symptoms due to complications, such as perforation, intussusception and obstruction. This report illustrates a case of Henoch-Schonlein purpura with acute abdominal symptoms due to intussusception.

Henoch Schönlein Purpura

Henoch-Schönlein purpura (HSP), also known as immunoglobulin A vasculitis, is a self-limiting, small vessel systemic vasculitis rarely found in adults characterized by palpable purpura, arthritis or arthralgia, gastrointestinal, and renal involvement. We report a case of a 31-year-old male with HSP complicated with severe gastrointestinal manifestations mimicking acute abdomen. He was successfully managed with conservative approach. Meticulous diagnosis, treatment, and long-term monitoring are important to reduce patient morbidity.
