Abstract

While Henoch-Schönlein purpura is the most common acute systemic vas- culitis in childhood, it is rare in adults. It affects small vessels and is the most common cause of palpable purpura. In adults, the gastrointestinal sys- tem and kidneys are the most common sites of involvement after the skin. Gastrointestinal bleeding is usually occult; massive gastrointestinal bleeding is rare. We report a case who admitted to our clinic with the complaint of abdominal pain who presented massive upper gastrointestinal bleeding and disrupted hemodynamics after hospitalization.
