Schönlein‐Henoch Purpura in Association with Duodenal Ulcer and Gastric <i>Helicobacter pylori</i> Infection

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.
