Overview
The common causes of Henoch-Schönlein purpura (HSP) are infections, medications, hypersensitivity, vaccinations, genetics etc.
Causes
- Common causes
- Infections-
- Medications
- Hypersensitivity
- Vaccinations- certain vaccines can cause HSP such as Typhoid, HBV, Measles, Yellow fever, and Cholera.
- Rare causes
- 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.
