Henoch-Schonlein Purpura (HSP) is a small vessel vasculitis mediated by IgA-immune complex deposition. It is characterized by the clinical tetrad of non-thrombocytopenic palpable purpura, abdominal pain, arthritis and renal involvement. Pathologically, it can be considered a form of immune complex-mediated leukocytoclastic vasculitis (LCV) involving the skin and other organs. Though it primaril...

The aim of this study was to explore the relationship between children's chronic tonsillitis and Henoch-Schonlein purpura (HSP). We randomly selected 56 cases of HSP children with chronic tonsillitis during December 2009 to December 2012, 26 cases for surgery group and 30 cases for non-surgery.

The characteristic exanthem, the frequent occurrence of arthritis and intestinal symptoms, together with the possibility of renal damage, are well known.

Henoch-Schonlein Purpura (HSP) is systemic vasculitis in children, hallmark by inflammatory infiltration of polymonuclear leukocytes small blood vessels, followed IgA1 immune deposits. HSP prevalence approximately 3-27 cases per 100,000 children. The process causes an ischemia and hemorrhagic characterized non-thrombocytopenia purpura, arthralgia, gastrointestinal problems, kidney impairment. T...

Immune thrombocytopenic purpura is an infrequent yet well-recognized complication of viral infections, such as mumps, rubella, varicella, cytomegalovirus, parvovirus and infectious monunucleosis by Epstein-Barr virus. Some recent studies have described a possible association between Henoch-Schonlein purpura, a non-thrombocytopenic purpura, and seropositivity for Bartonella henselae, but in the ...
