  • Title: Relapsing Henoch-Schönlein purpura associated with Pseudomonas aeruginosa pyelonephritis.
    Author: Egan CA, O'Reilly MA, Meadows KP, Zone JJ.
    Journal: J Am Acad Dermatol; 2000 Feb; 42(2 Pt 2):381-3. PubMed ID: 10640939.
    Abstract:
    Henoch-Schönlein purpura is a systemic vasculitis of unknown cause. It is frequently triggered by a streptococcal upper respiratory tract infection. Other bacteria have been implicated as triggering agents. We report a recurring case of Henoch-Schönlein purpura in a patient with Pseudomonas pyelonephritis. The Henoch-Schönlein purpura remitted only when the infection was eradicated. Pseudomonas infection should be added to the list of bacteria that can trigger Henoch-Schönlein purpura.
