  • Title: Methotrexate used as a steroid-sparing agent in non-renal chronic Henoch-Schönlein purpura.
    Author: Rettig P, Cron RQ.
    Journal: Clin Exp Rheumatol; 2003; 21(6):767-9. PubMed ID: 14740458.
    Abstract:
    Henoch-Schönlein purpura (HSP) is the most common form of systemic vasculitis in childhood and a small percentage of children develop a chronic form of the disease that often requires prolonged corticosteroid therapy. A detailed case description of a child with non-renal chronic HSP treated with methotrexate to allow for tapering of corticosteroids is presented. This represents the first report of methotrexate use in the treatment of chronic HSP.
