    Author: Waelkens B, Van Moerkercke W, Lerut E, Sprangers B.
    Journal: Acta Gastroenterol Belg; 2014 Dec; 77(4):379-82. PubMed ID: 25682624.
    Abstract:
    We report a case of Henoch-Schönlein Purpura in a 83-year old patient. The patient presented with a purpuric rash and arthralgia. During admission, he developed hematochezia and acute kidney injury. Because of protracted gastro-intestinal bleeding after initiating therapy with methylprednisolone and ileocaecal resection, azathioprine was started. Gastro-intestinal bleeding resolved, and renal function normalized. We present the clinical and pathological findings of Henoch-Schönlein Purpura, focusing on gastro-intestinal manifestations.
