| Abstract |
|
Henoch-Schönlein purpura is the most common vasculitis in childhood and shows unique clinical features characteristic purpura, arthritis, abdominal pain, intestinal bleeding, nephritis and so forth by IgA mediated leukocytoclastic vasculitis. The etiology of Henoch-Schönlein purpura is unknown, but many variable causative factors are reported such as infection, drugs, vaccination, food, insect bite and so on. Henoch-Schönlein purpura precipitated by trauma is rare. There have been reports in which Henonch-Schönlein purpura was precipitated by trauma of cranio-face and ankle joint. We experienced a case of Henoch-Schö
nlein purpura precipitated by abdominal blunt trauma. We report it with a review of the literature. |
