[Abdominal manifestations of Henoch-Schönlein purpura in adults. A retrospective study of 23 cases].
Gastrointestinal manifestations of Henoch-Schönlein purpura (HSP) in adults may be severe. Data about treatment are controversial and the outcome is seldom described. ⋯ These results suggest that corticosteroids may reduce abdominal symptoms of HSP in adults with clinically severe disease. They are safe when CT scan is performed.
