摘要
The Schoenlein-Henoch purpura is a vascular disease that affects blood vessels and/or capillaries. It usually occurs in children, particularly male, between 2 and 8 years of age. The clinical presentation is characterized by purple spots on the skin, joint pain, gastrointestinal symptoms, and kidney disorders. Occasionally, it may affect the lungs, testicles, heart, and central nervous system. Interestingly, heart involvement appears as myocarditis or arrhythmia due to vascular damage of coronary arteries and tiny intramyocardial capillaries. We here describe a case of Schoenlein-Henoch purpura with clinical, electrocardiographic and serologic signs of myocardial ischemia, likely due to capillary vasculitis associated with streptococcus infection.
