摘要
Henoch-Schonlein purpura (HSP) is considered a benign disease of children. We report a severe case of HSP in an adult causing renal failure and gastrointestinal (GI) hemorrhage. Despite aggressive treatment with corticosteroids, cyclophosphamide, and plasmapheresis, the patient developed massive GI bleeding from 2 Dieulafoy lesions and died weeks after bowel resection. Although uncommon, when massive GI hemorrhage occurs, actively bleeding Dieulafoy lesions, although uncommon, should be suspected and evaluated early.
