  • Title: Pulmonary hemorrhage: an often fatal complication of Henoch-Schoenlein purpura.
    Author: Paller AS, Kelly K, Sethi R.
    Journal: Pediatr Dermatol; 1997; 14(4):299-302. PubMed ID: 9263314.
    Abstract:
    Two patients with Henoch-Schoenlein purpura developed pulmonary hemorrhage. One patient survived after treatment with intravenous methylprednisolone and cyclophosphamide; the other patient died from cardiopulmonary arrest before therapy could be initiated. Although rare, pulmonary complications of Henoch-Schoenlein purpura can lead to rapid demise unless immediate supportive treatment is initiated.
