  • Title: Henoch-Schonlein purpura with ischaemic bowel.
    Author: Hameed S, Dua S, Taylor HW.
    Journal: Ann R Coll Surg Engl; 2008 Oct; 90(7):W16-7. PubMed ID: 18831864.
    Abstract:
    Henoch-Schonlein purpura is a vasculitis affecting small arterial vessels. Occasionally, cases are referred for a general surgical opinion due to bowel involvement in the form of abdominal pain with or without rectal bleeding. However, surgical intervention is rarely required. We describe a case of Henoch-Schonlein purpura in a young man who went on to develop ischaemic bowel requiring resection.
