Abstract
We report an 8-year-old boy with Henoch-Scholein purpura (HSP) who had initially developed diffuse duodenal ulcers, accompanied by acute pancreatitis. The patient did not respond to conventional corticosleroid therapy and continued complaining severe abdominal pain and bloody stool. Even after intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) was administered, the patient complained persistent abdominal pain. And then we could identify acute pancreatitis combined by HSP from the patient Therefore we suggest that we Should rule out acute pancreatitis in the HSP patient with severe gastrointestinal manifestation which is refractory to medical treatment.
