“…Henoch-Schonlein purpura triggered by varicella was recently reported [15], as well as a higher incidence of Bartonella seropositivity in patients with HSP compared with control individuals [16], although the results of polymerase chain reaction were negative in six patients studied.…”

Vasculitides are rare conditions with significant morbidity and mortality whose prognosis has improved with newer diagnostic modalities and treatments; however, we continue to have insufficient knowledge of vasculitides and lack unambiguous diagnostic criteria. As technology continues to progress it is clear that a single cause of these diseases may be an oversimplification: the genetic makeup of individuals, as well as various environmental exposures, are of vital importance in the pathophysiology and evolution of disease processes, as well as response to therapy. Efforts should continue to improve international multicenter collaboration and interdisciplinary efforts to help solve this ever-growing puzzle.

“…HSP is much rarer in adults than in children. Although the cause of HSP is unknown, food allergies, infectious diarrhea [4], viral infection [5], and some medications [6] have all been postulated to play a role in its development. A skin rash is nearly always present, although not necessarily in the earliest stages.…”

Background: Gastrointestinal (GI) manifestations are common in patients with Henoch Schonlein Purpura (HSP) and it seems that ultrasound is the first modality for detecting GI involvement. This study was performed to evaluate the relationship between sonographic findings and clinical, and paraclinical symptoms. Methods: All patients with HSP referred to our clinic in 2011 and 2012, were enrolled in the study. The data including sonographic and other lab tests were collected and analyzed, and the association between sonographic findings and clinical, and paraclinical symptoms were evaluated. Results: Among 112 patients (68 males and 44 females), 28 cases had abnormality in their sonography that was higher in patients with GI and renal symptoms. Furthermore, length of hospitalization and need for corticosteroids was greater in patients with positive sonographic findings. Conclusions: In patients with HSP, ultrasound is a valuable modality to determine the prognosis of the disease.
