ABSTRACT
Objective To study the relationships between clinical and endoscopic findings of children with Henoch-Schoenlein purpura ( HSP). Methods All of the 51 cases with HSP from Aug 2000 to Apr 2004 were checked up by endoscopy, either gastroscopy and/or colonoscopy, and analyzed the relationship between clinical and endoscopic fingings. Results Fifteen out of 51 cases had no prominent changes in endoscopies, and 36 cases had different lesions in gastric, duodenal or colonic mucosa. There were 4 cases presented with simple lesion on stomach mucosa and 7 cases on colonic mucosa; and 25 cases had the lesions presented in gastrie, duodenal and/or colonic mucosa. The main findings in mucosa were exudates, erosion and hemorrhage. Conclusion There are obvious lesions in stomach, duodenum and /or colonic mucosa of HSP in children. Sometimes, these lesions happened before the appearance of skin purpura. There are close relationships between the lesions and the clinical manifestations of HSP in children, and therefore the endoscopic check up of HSP in children has very important significance in early diagnosis.
