Schönlein-Henoch purpura in association with duodenal ulcer and gastric Helicobacter pylori infection

J Dermatol. 1998 Jul;25(7):482-4. doi: 10.1111/j.1346-8138.1998.tb02440.x.

Abstract

We report a 62-year-old man who presented with Schönlein-Henoch purpura (SHP) associated with duodenal ulcer and gastric Helicobacter pylori (HP) infection. The recurrent purpuric rash faded after HP eradication with amoxycillin, clarythromycin, and omeprazole treatment. These findings suggest a causative role for HP in the occurrence of SHP.
