Henoch-Schonlein Purpura Associated with Pseudomonas Septicemia

Henoch-schonlein purpura(HSP) is the most common form of acute vasculitis with unknown causes, primarily affecting children. Clinical features include skin rashes, arthritis, abdominal pain and nephritis. It is frequently triggered by a streptococcal upper respiratory tract infection. Other bacterias have been implicated as triggering agents. Case Report: We report a case of HSP in a patient with pseudomonas septicemia. Pseudomonas infection should be added to the list of bacteria that can trigger HSP.
