Objectives: The purpose of this study is to report the clinical effect of Korean medicine (KM) treatment for Henoch-Schonlein purpura (HSP). Methods: Five HSP patients who demonstrated a Yin deficiency and who had a history of a previous upper respiratory tract infection were included in this study. Four patients had arthritis and three had severe stomachache. One of them appeared to have proteinuria and hematuria before starting KM treatment. Results: All patients were improved with only herbal medicine, Jarotang (JRT). Purpura in the lower extremities and abdominal pain, which were not treated by using a corticosteroid, disappeared and had not recurred after 6 months. Conclusion: These cases indicate that JRT may be effective in treating HSP in patients who demonstrate Yin deficiency, even though the number of cases was limited to five.

A boy who was eight years old visited the Dept. of Oriental Medical Ophthamology & Otolaryngology & Dermatology Hospital, Dongeui University with allergic purpura. He was suffering from the purpuric rash occurring on the lower extremities and the edema of leg. We treated a patient with only Oriental Medicine(a internal use of the herbal medicine, Dangguisusangamibang and a acupuncture). After four days or so, the symptom of the skin disease was recovered remarkably. The second case, a different boy who was ten years old visited the same hospital with allergic purpura. He was suffering from the purpuric rash occurring on the lower extremities, too. We also treated a patient with only Oriental Medicine(internal use of the herbal medicine, Dangguisusangamibang and a acupuncture). After one weeks or so, the symptom of the skin disease was improved remarkably, we think that these are good cases to treat with Oriental Medicine, Dangguisusangamibang. We suggest that the Oriental Herb medicine, Dangguisusangamibang have an effect with allergic purpura which means Podoyug in Oriental medicine.

Henoch-Sch$\ddot{o}$nlein purpura is a systemic vasculitis of unknown etiology that is probably related to an autoimmune phenomenon. Henoch-Sch$\ddot{o}$nlein purpura is characterized by a purpuric rash, arthralgia, nephritis, and gastrointestinal manifestations. We reviewed 169 children hospitalized with a diagnosis of Henoch-Sch$\ddot{o}$nlein purpura between 1989 and 1998. One-hundred thirty-nine (82.2 %) had gastrointestinal findings including abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting and gastrointestinal bleeding. Surgical consultations were obtained for ten children, and laparotomy was performed in five. Three children suspected of having appendicitis underwent appendectomy. None had appendicitis. One child thought to have been intestinal strangulation was found to have hemorrhagic edema of the proximal jejunum and of the distal ileum. Another child underwent resection for an hemorrhagic infarct of the distal ileum. A high index of suspicion of this disease entity in the differential diagnosis of abdominal pain in children can avoid unnecessary laparotomy in most cases. However, life-threatening gastrointestinal complications may occur in low percentage of cases. Prompt recognition and adequate radiologic evaluation of the abdominal manifestation of this entity is necessary for early surgical intervention.

The current SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has been a particular challenge for diabetes patients. Since these patients are at a higher risk of COVID-19, they have been prioritized for vaccination. In this report, we describe the case of a patient scheduled for diabetic foot amputation who received the first dose of ChAdOx1 nCov-19 vaccine and subsequently developed severe purpura in his genitalia and both of his hands and feet, accompanied by acute renal failure. The operation had to be postponed as severe limb purpura appeared just before the operation. With adequate management for acute renal failure and topical steroid application for the severe purpura lesions, a successful outcome could be obtained after the delayed first ray amputation. We recommend that COVID-19 vaccination should be carefully administered in patients with a diabetic foot requiring amputation.

Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura is a potentially life-threatening condition characterised by thrombocytopenia and mediated by an autoimmune mechanism. Several recent studies have suggested that an association exists between H. pylori eradication and improvement in platelet count in a significant proportion of patients with idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura. This study confirmed the efficacy of H. pylori eradication in increasing the platelet count in steroid refractory idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura patients. Eradication therapy is simple and inexpensive, with limited toxicity and the advantage of avoiding long-term immunosuppressive treatment.

The incidence of nephritis associated with Henoch-Sch nlein purpura varies, but glomerulonephritis consistently accounts for most of the associated morbidity and mortality. A very small number of Henoch-Sch nlein purpura develop rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis. A three-year old male patient who showed acute nephritic nephrotic syndrome developed abdominal pain, arthralgia and multiple purpurae on lower extremities later. Peritoneal dialysis was done at the 6th hospital day and continued for 7 months. Renal biopsy disclosed crescentic glomerulonephritis (with 81% crescent formation) and methylprednisolone pulse therapy was done. These days, his general condition is good, but serum creatinine levels are 1.2-1.3 mg/dL. This case was reviewed briefly with the literatures.

Diffuse alveolar hemorrhage is a very rare manifestation in Henoch-Schoenlein purpura. Recently we experience a case of diffuse alveolar hemorrhage associated with Henoch-Schoenlein purpura which was diagnosed by typical clinical manifestation and renal biopsy. A 25 year old male was admitted due to hemoptysis and dyspnea. Chest X-ray, HRCT and BAL revealed diffuse alveolar hemorrhage. He also had a history of skin rash, polyarthralgia, and hematochezia with abdominal pain. Renal biopsy which was taken for the evaluation of microscopic hematuria showed IgA nephropathy. Under the diagnosis of Henoch-Schoenlein purpura, we treated him with solumedrol pulse therapy, plasma-pheresis and prednisolone with cytoxan. After then he showed marked improvement in clinical manifestation and was discharged with prednisolone and cytoxan.

Henoch-$Sh{\ddot{o}}nlein$ 자반증은 신장, 피부, 관절, 소화기계 등의 전신을 침범하는 혈관염으로 임상적인 증상을 종합하여 진단하는 질환이며 피부나 신장에서의 조직학적 생검이 진단을 뒷받침해 주는 근거가 될 수 있다. 항결핵제 사용 중에 rifampin으로 인하여 신기능 저하, 관절 통증, 양하지 자반, 복통 등의 임상 양상이 발생하였으며 하지 피부 병변의 조직 검사로 백혈구파쇄성혈관염(leukocytoclastic vasculitis) 소견을 보여 임상적으로 Henoch-$Sh{\ddot{o}}nlein$ 자반증으로 진단하였으며 rifampin 복용 중지 후 피부 자반 소실되고, 신장 기능이 회복된 예를 문헌 고찰과 함께 보고하는 바이다.

목 적 : HSP는 주로 소혈관을 침범하는 혈관염으로 대개 자연적으로 치유되지만 장기적 예후는 신장 침범의 정도에 달려 있으므로 신장 침범의 위험인자를 예측하고 예방하는 것이 중요하다. 이에 본 연구는 증상을 완화하기 위해 사용한 스테로이드가 HSP에서 신장 침범을 줄일 수 있는지를 알아보고자 하였다. 방 법 : 1993년 1월부터 2006년 12월까지 충북대학교병원 소아과에서 HSP로 진단 받은 환아를 대상으로 하여 스테로이드 사용 유무와 사용 기간, 지속성 자반의 유무에 따른 신장 침범의 유무와 정도를 분석하였다. 결 과 : 스테로이드 사용 유무와 사용 기간에 따른 신장 침범 빈도와 신장 침범 기간에는 유의한 차이가 없었다. 스테로이드의 사용 여부에 따른 신장 침범 양상을 보았을 때, 스테로이드를 사용한 경우에는 혈뇨가 많이 나타나고 사용하지 않은 경우에는 단백뇨가 많이 나타나는 경향을 보였으나 통계적으로는 유의한 차이가 없었다. 스테로이드의 사용과 자반의 지속성과는 유의한 관계가 없었다. 반면에 10일 이상의 지속성 자반이 있는 경우에 신장 침범이 유의하게 많은 것으로 나타났으며, 신장 침범의 기간도 지속성 자반이 있는 경우에 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 결 론 : HSP로 진단받은 환아들에게 복통이나 관절통 등으로 스테로이드를 사용한 후 신장 침범의 유무를 비교해 본 결과, 스테로이드의 사용 여부와 사용 기간과는 유의한 결과를 보이지 않으므로 신장 침범에 대한 스테로이드의 예방효과는 없는 것으로 생각된다. 또한, 스테로이드 치료의 적응증이 아닌 자반의 지속성이 오히려 신장 침범의 유무와 기간과 관계있다는 사실은, 스테로이드가 신장 침범의 예방효과가 없음을 뒷받침해 주고 있다.
