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.

In Pregnancy

Henoch-Schonlein purpura is a relatively common pediatric vasculitis. Very few cases of Henoch-Schonlein purpura during pregnancy have been described. Henoch-Schonlein purpura is variable in its presentation, from completely benign to possibly catastrophic complications. This rarely encountered condition in adults can also be a recurrence of a previous childhood disease. We present a case of a pregnant 40-year-old woman with Henoch-Schonlein purpura, resulting in a viable birth with no fetal complications. Her presentation is discussed in detail and a general presentation of Henoch-Schonlein purpura is explored, with particular attention to its rare onset during pregnancy.

Henoch Schönlein Purpura

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.
