Patient's question:
High-pitched crying, twisted limbs, and continuously increasing gas in the intestinal cavity clearly indicate abdominal pain. What kind of help is needed: What tests are required for the diagnosis of pediatric Henoch-Sch?nlein purpura?Doctor's answer:
This disease has no specific laboratory tests. When the bleeding volume is large, anemia may be present. Moderate leukocytosis, normal or elevated eosinophils, normal platelets, normal bleeding time, coagulation time, and blood clot retraction are all normal. Erythrocyte sedimentation rate is increased, and C-reactive protein and anti-streptolysin O can be negative. Throat culture shows Group A beta-hemolytic streptococcus. Serum IgA is mildly elevated. Urinalysis, electroencephalography, and electrocardiography can be used to understand the condition of the kidneys, brain, and heart.
