چکیده
the aim of this study was to investigate the possible influence of interferon-gamma (ifn- γ) gene polymorphism +874 (a/t) (rs2430561) in the susceptibility and renal complications of patients with henoch-schonlein purpura (hsp). we also studied the effects of ifn-γ allelic variation on serum levels of pro-and anti-inflammatory cytokines in hsp patients. the study population comprised 97 patients suffering from hsp and 97 control participants. patients and controls were genotyped for a single nucleotide polymorphism +874 (a/t) in the first intron of the ifn-γ gene by the taqman pcr method. frequencies of individuals with ifn-γ +874 aa, at and tt genotypes were 77.3%,21.6% and 1% in hsp patients and 79.4%, 17.5% and 3.1% in controls, respectively. the frequency of the aa genotype in hsp patients with nephritis was slightly higher (83.3%) than in hsp patients without nephritis (73.8%). the allele a occurred more commonly in hsp patients with nephritis (92%) than in hsp patients without nephritis (86%), but these differences were not statistically significant (p= 0.469 and p= 0.244, respectively). in addition, significant difference in serum il-10 levels between ifn-γ +874 different genotype groups was found. our results do not support a role for ifn-γ gene polymorphism +874 (a/t) in the susceptibility to hsp and allelic variation at ifn-γ +874 locus had no effect on serum levels of cytokines in patients with hsp except for il-10.

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...

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-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...
متن کاملHenoch–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...

PURPOSE OF REVIEW The purpose of this review is to educate the reader about the one of the most common vasculitides of childhood: Henoch-Schonlein purpura. Although the disease has been described for over a century, the etiology has yet to be discovered. Adult-onset Henoch-Schonlein purpura is unusual, but through case studies, this review examines some of the common manifestations of this pres...
