  • Title: [Videocapsule endoscopy used for diagnosis of Henoch-Schönlein purpura with gastrointestinal complications].
    Author: Sivayogajeyam S, Christensen KD.
    Journal: Ugeskr Laeger; 2013 Sep 16; 175(38):2195-6. PubMed ID: 24044543.
    Abstract:
    Henoch-Schönlein purpura (HSP) is primarily a childhood disease and is less common in adults where the incidence varies from 3.4 to 14.3 cases per million. We describe a case of adult HSP and discuss the role of videocapsule endoscopy, which is a non-invasive and safe method to evaluate the typical mucosa changes in especially small bowel. Medical doctors should be aware of HSP in adults and pay attention to the fact that in an unusual presentation with gastrointestinal manifestation videocapsule endoscopy may play a safe diagnostic role.
