[Schoenlein-Henoch purpura associated with spiramycin and with important digestive manifestations].
Schönlein-Henoch purpura is a vasculitis due to hypersensitivity characteristic of the infancy that affects preferably small vessels. The etiology is unknown, although it has been related to allergic reactions to drugs, infections, vaccines and insecta bites. An adult with a Schönlein-Henoch purpura after receiving spiramicin is presented, beginning with epigastric pain and vomiting and the purpura appearing subsequently.
