Purpura – general information
PURPURA – GENERAL INFORMATION
The Schonlein-Henoch syndrome or anaphylactoid purpura is essentially a disease of childhood usually at around the ages of five to seven.
It is believed to be an allergic type reaction occurring some weeks after a respiratory infection and, in this respect, resembles rheumatic fever.
The lesion is an inflammation of small blood vessels and affects many organs. The skin is almost always involved and small bleedings under the skin produce the small red marks called purpura.
The joints, the gastro-intestinal tract and the kidneys may also be involved.
No treatment appears to be effective, but, in most cases, the disorder slowly resolves over six to eight weeks. About 5 to 10 per cent may go on to develop chronic kidney inflammation.
