Abstract
- Henoch-Schoenlein purpura is a syndrome of acute systemic allergic vasculitis involving the small vessels of skin and multiple organs, characterized by a symmetrical, non-thrombocytopenic, painless purpura, nephritis and gastrointestinal manifestations. Although GI involvement is about 70%, endoscopic and histopathological finding of the GI tract in Henoch-Schoenlein purpura is rarely reported and necrotizing vasculitis in GI tract biopsy has not been reported yet. We report a case of a 16-year-old male patient, who complained of palpable purpura, vomiting and epigastric pain with necrotizing vasculitis of the duodenum on histopathological examination.
