Henoch-Schönlein purpura (HSP) is a widespread necrotizing vasculitis affecting small vessels characterized by nonthrombocytopenic purpura. Pulmonary involvement is a rare fatal complication with diffuse alveolar haemorrhage. The objective of this study was to evaluate possible early lung function abnormalities and to establish any relationship with the clinical activity of the disease. Fifteen...

Henoch–Schönlein purpura (HSP) is a systemic small vessel vasculitis, characterized by the deposition of immune complexes, mainly polymeric IgA1 and C3, in the skin, gastrointestinal tract, joints, and kidneys w1x. Although the aetiology remains unknown, HSP is often associated with infectious agents. All ages may be affected although it is more common in children, and has a male predominance. ...

Henoch-Schönlein purpura (HSP) (IgA vasculitis) is a systemic small vessel vasculitis associated with IgA1-dominant immune deposits, which may affect the skin, joints, gastrointestinal tract and kidneys [1]. Purpura, arthritis and abdominal pain are known to be the classical triad of HSP, however the prognosis predominantly depends on the degree of renal involvement. A variety of factors, such ...

A 59-year-old woman was admitted to the dermatology section for a skin eruption. She was initially diagnosed as having a drug-induced skin rash.

One the key components this response is immunoglobulin A (IgA), thus causing endothelial injury and inflammation. Henoch-Schönlein purpura (HSP) has been rarely reported in adult patients as a complication disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection. In report, ...

Henoch-Schönlein purpura (HSP) is the most common systemic vasculitis in children, while it is rare in adults. Typical clinical manifestations include palpable purpura without thrombocytopenia and/or coagulopathy, arthritis/arthralgia, abdominal pain, and/or renal involvement. In adulthood the disease tends to be more serious than in children, with renal manifestations developing over a period ...
