Efficacy of colchicine in a child with relapsing bullous Henoch-Schonlein purpura

摘要

Colchicine is not usually considered a treatment option for cutaneous lesions of Henoch-Schonlein purpura (HSP) in children. We report a case of pediatric HSP with severe chronic and relapsing cutaneous manifestations that were resistant to corticosteroids. Colchicine had remarkable therapeutic efficacy, with positive dechallenge and rechallenge, without any adverse effects.
