Primary Active Epstein-Barr Virus Infection Coexisting with Henoch-Schonlein Purpura in a Child: A Rare Trigger Factor of Henoch-Schonlein Purpura ACCS- Iris Publishers





Henoch-Schonlein purpura (HSP), also known as IgA vasculitis, is the most common vasculitis that effects the small vessels of the skin, joints, gastrointestinal tract, and kidneys in childhood. Epstein barr virus infection is a mild, asymptomatic infection and uncomplicated  disease.  It  is  stated  that  an  Epstein–Barr  virus  infection  might  be  a  trigerr  factor  for  Henoch-Schonlein  purpura  and this togetherness is rarely reported. Herein, we described a patient with Henoch-Schonlein purpura associated with primary active EBV infection. We hope our case report will create awareness of EBV in HSP vasculitis and we suggest that routine serologic investigations may help to detect the possible etiology and/or stimulant factors of HSP.
