Henoch-Schönlein purpura after Salmonella hirschfeldii infection

O Fiocchi et al. Nephron. 1990.

Abstract

The authors present a case of Henoch-Schönlein purpura in a young soldier (19 years old) which they consider important for its etiology and the length of its oligoanuric phase. The syndrome followed a Salmonella hirschfeldii infection, and a protracted oligoanuric phase was followed by nephrotic syndrome and selective glomerular proteinuria which lasted for 1 year. The young man recovered after the eradication of the Salmonella. It seems possible that there was an overall anomalous regulation of the 'lymphoid system of the mucosa', perhaps dependent on a genetic predisposition.
