  • Title: [Familial Henoch-Schönlein purpura manifested with lung hemorrhage].
    Author: Ros S, Martínez Ara J, García de Miguel MA, Olea T, de Alvaro F.

    Abstract:
    Henoch-Schönlein purpura (HSP) is a necrotizing vasculitis affecting small vessels characterized by nontrombocytopenic purpura. The most characteristic clinical manifestations are purpura, arthritis, abdominal pain, abdominal bleeding and nephritis. Lung hemorrhage is a rare symptom associated with the HSP. Although the subclinical alterations of pulmonary function are frequent in patients with PSH without clinical lung manifestations, the presence of lung hemorrhage is an unusual symptom. We report a case of a patient with hemoptysis and HSP previously asymptomatic.
