Overview

The common causes of Henoch-Schönlein purpura (HSP) are infections, medications, hypersensitivity, vaccinations, genetics etc.

Common causes
- Infections-
- Medications
- Hypersensitivity
- Vaccinations- certain vaccines can cause HSP such as Typhoid, HBV, Measles, Yellow fever, and Cholera.
Rare causes
- Genetics- very rarely HSP can occur in twins and within the family
- Other triggers Certain drugs, bacteria, insect bites, viral infections, food, cold weather, and trauma may also cause HSP.
In HSP, the antibodies are directed against the blood vessels causing vasculitis, bleeding into the skin leading to a subsequent skin rash.
Allergic reaction to foods may cause HSP.
Very rarely HSP can occur in twins and within the family.
