CLINICAL MANIFESTIONS
Arthritis and arthralgia Present in 7-25% of patients Involves large or small joints
Urethritis Causes sterile pyuria
CNS involvement Aseptic meningitis, facial nerve palsy, hearing loss
GI symptoms Abdominal pain, diarrhea, vomiting, hepatitis
Cardiac involvement Coronary artery aneurysms, myocardial
dysfunction

Toxin mediated illnesses Scarlet fever, toxic shock*
Rickettsial or spirochete infections Rocky mountain spotted fever*, leptospirosis*
Drug reactions Stevens-Johnson, serum sickness
JRA Mercury hypersensitivity reaction
See Mia’s recent case conference

LABORATORY EVALUATION Markers of systemic inflammation
Elevated CRP, ESR, leukocytosis with left shift, reactive thrombocytosis (up to 1 million)
Anemia (normocytic, normochromic) Sterile pyuria (urethral origin, don’t do a
cath) Transaminase elevation (mild to moderate) CSF findings
Mononuclear pleocytosis, hypoglycorrhachia, elevated protein
Synovial fluid inflammation Hyponatremia (increased risk for coronary
aneurysms)
![Page 13: V ASCULITIS SYNDROMES Emily B. Martin, MD Rheumatology Board Review April 9, 2008](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062715/56649db15503460f94aa0865/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
TREATMENT
Mainstay of treatment is IVIG 2 gram/kg over 8-12 hours.
IVIG may need to be repeated in refractory cases.
Several studies have shown that IVIG + aspirin decreases the risk of coronary aneurysms compared to aspirin alone. May also decrease risk of depressed myocardial
function. High dose aspirin during acute illness then
low dose for about 2 months.

QUESTION 1
A 3-year-old girl is brought to your office for re-evaluation of a fever that began 6 days ago. Her mother tells you that her daughter's temperature has been as high as 102.2°F (39°C). Her physical examination was unremarkable when you examined her 3 days ago, but today you note injected sclera; cracked, red lips, a strawberry appearance of her tongue; and a swollen, nontender, cervical node. You tell her mother that you believe this is Kawasaki disease.

HENOCH-SCHONLEIN PURPURA
![Page 21: V ASCULITIS SYNDROMES Emily B. Martin, MD Rheumatology Board Review April 9, 2008](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062715/56649db15503460f94aa0865/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
HENOCH-SCHONLEIN PURPURA
Most common systemic vasculitis in children. Immune mediated
Deposition of IgA immune complexes. Often a self-limited disease. Occurs more often in fall, winter, and spring.
Rare in the summer. About 50% of cases are preceded by URI’s.
Streptococcus is often implicated. Vaccines, insect bites, viruses have also been
reported as triggers.
![Page 22: V ASCULITIS SYNDROMES Emily B. Martin, MD Rheumatology Board Review April 9, 2008](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062715/56649db15503460f94aa0865/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
CLINICAL PRESENTATION
Classic tetrad1. Palpable purpura (100%)
In absence of thrombocytopenia or coagulopathy
2. Arthritis or arthralgia (75%)3. Abdominal pain (50%)4. Renal disease (21-50%)

GI SYMPTOMS
HSP can cause edema and submucosal hemorrhage of GI tract. May see purpuric lesions on endoscopy.
May be the presenting symptom of HSP. Symptoms typically develop within 8 days of
the rash. Intussusception is the most common GI
complication. Be able to recognize obstruction due to
HSP. Know that it is more often ileo-ileal (vs.
ileocolic).
![Page 27: V ASCULITIS SYNDROMES Emily B. Martin, MD Rheumatology Board Review April 9, 2008](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062715/56649db15503460f94aa0865/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
RENAL DISEASE
Occurs in up to 50% of patients. Ranges from hematuria to end-stage renal
disease (<1% of patients). Usually presents within four weeks of onset
of HSP. Overall prognosis is very good, but there is
some long-term risk of progressive renal impairment.
![Page 28: V ASCULITIS SYNDROMES Emily B. Martin, MD Rheumatology Board Review April 9, 2008](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062715/56649db15503460f94aa0865/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
LABORATORY FINDINGS
There is NO definitive diagnostic test. IgA levels may be elevated in 50-70% of
patients. Platelet counts and coag studies should be
normal. Inflammatory markers may be elevated. Urinalysis
Red cells, white cells, casts, proteinuria May not be present until later in the course Remember to continue UA screenings after the
acute phase. Negative RF and ANA.

FOR THE BOARDS…
Recognize the typical presentation of HSP.
Recognize that HSP may present initially with ABDOMINAL PAIN OR JOINT COMPLAINTS.
Recognize INTESTINAL OBSTRUCTION secondary to HSP.
Know the typical laboratory findings in HSP.

QUESTION 1
A 3-year-old boy is brought to the office with complaints of intermittent abdominal pain for 2 days. His mother notes that he also had a limp and a faint rash on his legs for 1 day.
