Patient's question:
My son is 6 years old and has been diagnosed with childhood Henoch-Sch?nlein purpura. It frequently recurs, and he suffers while we are anxious. Please ask: How should we deal with the frequent recurrence of childhood Henoch-Sch?nlein purpura?Doctor's answer:
Allergic purpura is a vasculitic autoimmune disease, caused by the body's allergy to many substances, leading to reduced capillary fragility and the development of purpura. The treatment primarily involves hormones and high-dose therapy during the acute phase, followed by slow and sustained treatment during the remission phase. It is also important to identify and avoid allergenic factors to prevent exposure. During hormone treatment, it is crucial to strictly follow the prescribed course and dosage, take medication regularly, and adhere to the treatment plan to prevent recurrence.
