Abstract

Blastocystis hominis (B. hominis) is a parasite that often causes gastrointestinal symptoms in patients with immune deficiency and has a controversial pathogenicity in healthy people, although some symptoms are reported outside of the gastrointestinal system in healthy persons. Henoch-Schönlein Purpura (HSP) vasculitis is an acute autoimmune disease characterised by IgA storage of small vessels that is believed to include infectious factors in its aetiology. A 30-month follow-up with a boy diagnosed with HSP being treated with steroid therapy showed that he had recurrent symptoms within two days, and B. hominis was detected in the faecal analysis. His symptoms including rash, abdominal pain, and arthritis improved after treatment with steroid and co-trimaksazol. This paper is the first to present a case of HSP associated with B. hominis.

Özet

lastocystis hominis (B. hominis), sıklıkla immun yetmezliği olan hastalarda gastrointestinal semptomlara sebep olan sağlıklı insanlarda patojenitesi tartışmalı bir parazittir. Sağlıklı insanlarda gastrointesital sistem dışı semptomları nadiren de olsa rapor edilmiştir. Henoch- Schönlein Purpura (HSP) vasküliti IgA depolanması ile ilgili karakterize akut küçük damarları tutan çeşitli enfeksiyon etkenlerinin etyolojide suçlandığı otoimmün bir hastalıktır. HSP tanısıyla takip edilen 30 aylık erkek çocukta steroid tedavisine rağmen iki gün içinde tekrarlayan semptomlar sonucunda yapılan tetkiklerinde gaitada B. hominis saptandı. kotrimaksazol ve steroid tedavisinden sonra döküntü, karın ağrısı ve artrit bulguları düzeldi. Bu yazıda literatürde ilk olduğunu düşündüğümüz B. hominis’le ilişkili HSP vakasını sunduk.
